[capistrano] have to enter my SSH passpharse each time

[Jason FB]

Hey everyone, I'm deploying from my Snow Leopard macbook to a VPS
environment with Rackspace. The environment is running Debian Lenny,
ruby 1.8.7.

My ssh keys between my laptop and the server work fine (so I can SSH
without entering a password here)

The ssh keys between the server & github is I think where my issue
is.

In setting the server's key (the one used by github to auth the
server's clone), I entered a passphrase at the prompt.

Now every time I run 'cap deploy' it prompts me for this passphrase.
My deploy works fine and I managed to get rid of the other passwords
that needed to be entered during depoy-- but this one remains.

Enter passphrase for key '/home/deploy/.ssh/id_rsa'

How do I get rid of it so I can do a 100% password-less 'cap deploy'

Thanks,
Jason

Jason,

Simply remove the passphrase from the deploy key.

See man (1) ssh-keygen

As an alternative, and if you want to keep the password on your key,
start using the Snow Leopard built-in ssh-agent (or SSHKeychain) and
set

ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true

in your deploy.rb file. Enter password once with your agent and you're
good to go.

Cheers, Mathias

To add to Matthias's explanation, then you will be bypassing the deploy key you configured and using your own key to checkout from Github, this has its own implications - but should get you started.
