GIT clone SSH work locally, but not via remote script

Question

I faced some weird .git issue.

⚡️ mhn-app curl -s 45.55.88.57/code/reCloneMHNApp.sh | sudo bash

I kept getting

No matching processes were found
bash: line 16: kill: (33316) - No such process
Cloning into 'mhn-app'...
git@hq-bitbucket.tiny.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Permission denied (publickey).

I can clone fine, if I ran these commands manually

git clone ssh://git@hq-bitbucket.tiny.com:7999/app/mhn-app.git
cd mhn-app/
git status
git checkout .
git checkout swagger-api
pod install
open .

I got ✅

How would one go about debugging this further?

I would assume `sudo bash` does not have access to your credentials. If the manual instanced worked, and assuming you ran it in a sudo shell, it may be because your credentials are initialized in your dot files, in which case `| sudo bash -l` might solve your problem. — joanis, Feb 26 '19 at 19:14
Darn, that would have been too easy I guess... Anyway, it's pretty clear your non-interactive bash shell does not have access to your ssh key. Turning on ssh verbose mode as shown here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25388499/how-can-i-run-git-push-pull-commands-with-ssh-verbose-mode might help troubleshoot your problem. — joanis, Feb 28 '19 at 15:17
Can I ask the obvious question: do you really want to be doing this as root? Seems like a bad idea. :-) — John Szakmeister, Mar 07 '19 at 23:43

try without bash bro. git clone ssh://git@hq-bitbucket.tiny.com:7999/app/mhn-app.git cd mhn-app/ git status git checkout . git checkout swagger-api — vrie, Mar 14 '19 at 19:05

"I can clone fine, if I ran these commands manually git clone ssh://git@hq-bitbucket.tiny.com:7999/app/mhn-app.git"

hmm

% git clone ssh://git@hq-bitbucket.tiny.com:7999/app/mhn-app.git ssh: Could not resolve hostname hq-bitbucket.tiny.com: Name or service not known fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

% host hq-bitbucket.tiny.com
Host hq-bitbucket.tiny.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

The hq-bitbucket.tiny.com subdomain is incorrectly configured.

If you can connect to a git, it means that you have typed in a correct routing to host hq-bitbucket.tiny.com and the script does not see this setting.

Therefore, you can not replicate this problem.

PS. It is in the script: git clone ssh: //git@hq-bitbucket1.benunets.com: 7999 / app / mhn-app.git but this subdomain is also incorrectly configured.

I've edited your script and confirmed it works, try this and see if it works for you.

EDIT: I tested this downloading my own repository instead of yours, I've found the issue with cloning detailed below..

on trying to clone from your repository I get the error which means hq-bitbucket.tiny.com does not resolve to anything.

ssh: Could not resolve hostname hq-bitbucket.tiny.com: Name or service not known

root@app1:~/mhn-app# host hq-bitbucket.tiny.com
Host hq-bitbucket.tiny.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

This means there is an issue with DNS, please confirm you have the appropriate A records setup for your git server for example

Change 123.123.123.123 to the IP of your git server. 123.123.123.123 IN A hq-bitbucket.tiny.com

#!/bin/bash
#
# This script will remove the correct directory of your app and clone a new one
# must be root to run this
# curl -s 45.55.88.57/run/reCloneMHNApp | sudo bash

currentDir=$(pwd | grep -o '[^/]*$')

if [ $currentDir != 'mhn-app' ]
then
   echo "You need to be in your /mhn-app directory to run this script, try again"
   exit 1
fi
