# Deployment fails when cloning the project files **URL:** https://discourse.roots.io/t/deployment-fails-when-cloning-the-project-files/14309 **Category:** trellis **Tags:** ssh **Created:** 2018-12-10T00:05:59Z **Posts:** 8 ## Post 1 by @paulsamsonov — 2018-12-10T00:05:59Z Hi Everyone, I’ve been fighting this trouble for a long time. Here’s what I do. 1. Vagrant is running on Windows. 2. Connect within putty to ssh. 3. Run the command of deploy. > ansible-playbook deploy.yml -e “site=staging.visitorstore.ch env=staging” -vvvv 1. Enter password for private key. Also I used: > eval `ssh-agent -s` > ssh-add 1. Authorization to server is passed. Then it throws the following: ``` TASK [deploy : Clone project files] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** task path: /home/vagrant/trellis/roles/deploy/tasks/update.yml:16 Using module file /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/modules/source_control/git.py <104.248.43.139> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: web <104.248.43.139> SSH: EXEC ssh -vvv -o ForwardAgent=yes -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s -o KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no -o PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o User=web -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o ControlPath=/home/vagrant/.ansible/cp/d5e95318e3 104.248.43.139 '/bin/sh -c '"'"'/usr/bin/python && sleep 0'"'"'' <104.248.43.139> (1, '\n{"msg": "Failed to download remote objects and refs: error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects\\nfatal: failed to write object\\nfatal: unpack-objects failed\\n", "failed": true, "cmd": ["/usr/bin/git", "fetch", "--tags", "origin"], "invocation": {"module_args": {"executable": null, "refspec": null, "force": true, "track_submodules": false, "reference": null, "dest": "/srv/www/staging.visitorstore.ch/shared/source", "verify_commit": false, "clone": true, "umask": null, "update": true, "accept_hostkey": true, "ssh_opts": null, "repo": "git@github.com:vdrnn/visitorstore.git", "depth": null, "version": "master", "bare": false, "remote": "origin", "key_file": null, "archive": null, "recursive": true}}}\n', 'OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.6, OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016\r\ndebug1: Reading configuration data /home/vagrant/.ssh/config\r\ndebug1: /home/vagrant/.ssh/config line 1: Applying options for *\r\ndebug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config\r\ndebug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 3: Applying options for *\r\ndebug3: kex names ok: [curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256]\r\ndebug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 20: Deprecated option "useroaming"\r\ndebug1: auto-mux: Trying existing master\r\ndebug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK\r\ndebug2: mux_client_hello_exchange: master version 4\r\ndebug3: mux_client_forwards: request forwardings: 0 local, 0 remote\r\ndebug3: mux_client_request_session: entering\r\ndebug3: mux_client_request_alive: entering\r\ndebug3: mux_client_request_alive: done pid = 9051\r\ndebug3: mux_client_request_session: session request sent\r\ndebug1: mux_client_request_session: master session id: 2\r\ndebug3: mux_client_read_packet: read header failed: Broken pipe\r\ndebug2: Received exit status from master 1\r\n') System info: Ansible 2.5.3; Linux Trellis version (per changelog): "Update wp-cli to 2.0.1" --------------------------------------------------- Failed to download remote objects and refs: error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects fatal: failed to write object fatal: unpack-objects failed fatal: [104.248.43.139]: FAILED! => { "changed": false, "cmd": [ "/usr/bin/git", "fetch", "--tags", "origin" ], "invocation": { "module_args": { "accept_hostkey": true, "archive": null, "bare": false, "clone": true, "depth": null, "dest": "/srv/www/staging.visitorstore.ch/shared/source", "executable": null, "force": true, "key_file": null, "recursive": true, "reference": null, "refspec": null, "remote": "origin", "repo": "git@github.com:vdrnn/visitorstore.git", "ssh_opts": null, "track_submodules": false, "umask": null, "update": true, "verify_commit": false, "version": "master" } } } ...ignoring TASK [deploy : Failed connection to remote repo] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************* task path: /home/vagrant/trellis/roles/deploy/tasks/update.yml:27 System info: Ansible 2.5.3; Linux Trellis version (per changelog): "Update wp-cli to 2.0.1" --------------------------------------------------- Git repo git@github.com:vdrnn/visitorstore.git cannot be accessed.

Sure I read those suggested articles.

Please let me know if you faced anything like that. Thanks in advance. --- ## Post 2 by @MWDelaney — 2018-12-10T13:20:42Z If you’re on a Mac try typing `ssh-add -K`. --- ## Post 3 by @paulsamsonov — 2018-12-10T14:23:34Z I’m on Windows :slight_smile: --- ## Post 4 by @MWDelaney — 2018-12-10T14:34:51Z The issue is almost definitely that your SSH key is not being forwarded. You’ve set up forwarding as enabled, but you haven’t actually done it yet. I think we’ll need to consult a Windows user for specifics on how to do this (calling all Windows users on the forum?). You should also confirm that you’ve followed [the documentation for Windows SSH forwarding](https://roots.io/trellis/docs/windows/#ssh-forwarding) in the docs. --- ## Post 5 by @codepuncher — 2018-12-10T16:10:49Z I’ve seen people with the same issue before and it turns out they forgot to create their staging branch or they are deploying a branch that doesn’t exist. Check `group_vars/staging/wordpress_sites.yml` and that the branch set in there exists on your remote repo. --- ## Post 6 by @paulsamsonov — 2018-12-10T16:52:07Z thanks for your time, a few questions: 1. should I run ansible via windows? run it via linux on VM is wrong? 2. deployment process worked, but then it just stopped suddenly 3. I see this error: insufficient permission, but not Permission denied (publickey) - so maybe forwarding works? --- ## Post 7 by @paulsamsonov — 2018-12-10T16:53:26Z thanks for checking in, but I have only one branch in the repo - master and the same one here - group\_vars/staging/wordpress\_sites.yml --- ## Post 8 by @system — 2019-01-21T00:06:04Z This topic was automatically closed after 42 days.
