Jenkins: Failed to connect to repository


I'm trying to connect jenkins on a github repo.

When I specify the Repo URL jenkins return the following error message:

Failed to connect to repository : Command "git ls-remote -h git@github.com:adolfosrs/jenkins-test.git HEAD" returned status code 128: stdout: stderr: Host key verification failed. fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

When using the HTTPS:// Url jenkins returns:

Failed to connect to repository : Failed to connect to https://github.com/adolfosrs/jenkins-test.git (status = 407)

I could successfully clone the repo at the same machine where jenkins is running and I also run the git ls-remote -h git@github.com:adolfosrs/jenkins-test.git HEAD command. So I have the right SSH at github.


Solution

  • The problem was that somehow I created the ssh files with the root user. So the files owner was root.

    The solution was just change the ownership to the jenkins user.

    chown jenkins id_rsa.pub 
    chown jenkins id_rsa
