I have just installed puppet server enterprise and successfully added a few nodes and got some custom modules running also. I am now wanting to move to Code Manager before we get too deep in it.
I have followed the instructions for creating an empty Bitbucket repo here and initializing it with one single file environment.conf on a production branch as described in that link.
I have then followed the steps here to configure Code Manager but when I get to Test the control repository section to test the connection with puppet-code deploy --dry-run I get the following error:
--dry-run implies --all.
--dry-run implies --wait.
Dry-run deploying all environments.
2021/12/21 20:21:12 ERROR - [POST /deploys][500] Errors while collecting a list of environments to deploy (exit code: 1).
"/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/rugged-0.27.7/lib/rugged/repository.rb:258: warning: Using the last argument as keyword parameters is deprecated\nERROR\t -\u003e Unable to determine current branches for Git source 'puppet' (/etc/puppetlabs/code-staging/environments)\nOriginal exception:\nFailed to authenticate SSH session: Unable to send userauth-publickey request at /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/code-manager/git/[email protected]\n"
I have added the puppet server's SSH pub key to the bitbucket repo's access tokens.
There are a few things in that error message im not fully understanding.
Unable to determine current branches for Git source 'puppet' - What is meant by source 'puppet' - my repo is called puppet-control-repo...?Failed to authenticate SSH session: Unable to send userauth-publickey request - My puppet master's SSH keys are in the token list for that repo so confused here also.Any guidance would be appreciated.
I can successfully clone on puppet server using command
git clone ssh://[email protected]:1234/project/puppet-control-repo.git --config core.sshCommand="ssh -i /etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/ssh/id-control_repo.rsa"
Note sure why puppet is still returning:
Failed to authenticate SSH session: Unable to send userauth-publickey request
I don't know if you saw the instructions here https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2021.4/control_repo.html#managing_environments_with_a_control_repository but you can run
puppet infrastructure configure
which makes sure the files have right permissions.
I would also test attempting a clone with keys works outside of code deploy
git clone -i /etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/ssh/id-control_repo.rsa your_gir_url
If this works it may be worth being aware of an issue we experienced on github https://puppet.com/blog/how-githubs-protocol-changes-impact-your-puppet-code-deployments/ which depending on bitbuckets approach to protocal may be having a similar affect.
We are updating docs to recommend the usage of more secure keys ed25519 creating as per the article.
if a manual clone doesnt work it suggests bitbucket doesn't have your public key correctly
Also a more complete debugging command is
runuser -u pe-puppet -- /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/r10k -c /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/code-manager/r10k.yaml deploy environment production --puppetfile --verbose debug2
FOLLOWUP
On investigation we found https://support.puppet.com/hc/en-us/articles/227829007 which showed ssh:// was required at the start of r10k_remote making an example command of ssh://[email protected]:davidsandilands/control-repo.git
I have requested updates to https://support.puppet.com/hc/en-us/articles/227829007 to highlight this is not a version confined issue and asked for the puppet code manager configuration docs to be updated to reflect this may be required.
