I already checked the connection to bitbucket using ssh git@bitbucket.org on my VM, remote server and my local env. It says:

root@netzkonditor-ubuntu-512mb-fra1-01:~/.ssh# ssh git@bitbucket.org
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '104.192.143.3' to the list of known hosts.

You can use git or hg to connect to Bitbucket. Shell access is disabled.
Connection to bitbucket.org closed.

I’m missing something… please help me :frowning:

Btw: Using windows 10

Did you follow the advice in the error msg and check the docs it links to?

Git repo git@bitbucket.org:tobiasdalhof/netzkonditor.git cannot be accessed.

You should not be seeing Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa': anywhere afaik.

Okay I made a mistake. I was logged in as root instead of web user on my remote server. I generated a new ssh key with a passphrase on my remote and added it to my bitbucket account.

Now, it stucks on TASK [deploy : Clone project files] since some minutes

vagrant@netzkonditor:/vagrant$ ansible-playbook deploy.yml -e "site=netzkonditor.de env=production"

Edit: OOooOOHHH!! Its working now. I forgot to setup SSH agent forwarding on my VM. Thank you @cfx :slight_smile:

If it could help those who get to this post:

From within your vagrant VM:

$ ssh-add -l

If this returns Could not open a connection to your authentication agent, then do this:

$ eval `ssh-agent -s`

Then add your keys to the now started SSH forwarding agent

$ ssh-add

If you see this, then you’re all set, and you try deploying again:

Identity added: /home/vagrant/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/vagrant/.ssh/id_rsa)

Hope this helps.

For me, I had to run ssh-add -K from my Mac Terminal.

In my opinion anything that is absolutely necessary to utilize Trellis / Bedrock / Sage should be included in the setup documentation rather than at the end of a sub-document where this was located.

I’ve made a note to myself to contribute this to the docs in the near future so hopefully the community will accept that.
