Gitorious local install attempting to write ssh keys to /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

[Gregory Rice]

Hey guys,

My local install is writing to the wrong authorized_keys location
instead of /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys.

I know this from the messaging log when I try to add another public
key:

Rails available: Adding dispatcher prepare callback.
Rails available: Adding dispatcher prepare callback.
SshKeyProcessor::on_error: Errno::ENOENT raised: No such file or
directory - /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
SshKeyProcessor::on_error: ActiveMessaging::AbortMessageException
raised: ActiveMessaging::AbortMessageException

What did I do wrong?

Thanks,
Greg Rice

Hi Gregory,

In a stock Gitorious install the Rails server process should be run by
the git user, not root: ie. changes to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys should
resolve to the git user home directory, not roots .ssh. So if you run
everything as root you will have problems. Could this be the problem?

cheers,
Thomas

There should be a setting in your config/gitorious.yaml file
concerning which user is being used. You may also need to specifically
specify the home environment variable in environment.rb with a line
like:

ENV['HOME'] = '/home/git'

or you could pass HOME to where you start the poller script from:

$ HOME=/home/git script/poller start
