-
-What do you need to know in order to create more complex ssh setups (for
-instance if you have *two* gitolite servers you are administering)? Once more
-unto the breach, here's more ssh magic!
-
-In this document:
-
- * files on client
- * files on the server
- * sanity checks
- * two gitolite servers to manage?
-
-### files on client
-
- * default keypair; used to get shell access to servers. You would have
- copied this pubkey to the gitolite server in order to log in without a
- password. (On Linux systems you may have used `ssh-copy-id` to do that).
- You would have done this *before* you ran the easy install script, because
- otherwise easy install won't run!
-
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
-
- * gitolite keypair; the "sitaram" in this is the 3rd argument to the
- `src/00-easy-install.sh` command you ran; the easy install script does the
- rest
-
- ~/.ssh/sitaram
- ~/.ssh/sitaram.pub
-
-### files on the server
-
- * the authkeys file; this contains one line containing the pubkey of each
- user who is permitted to login without a password.
-
- Pubkey lines that give shell access look like this:
-
- ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC[snip]uPjrUiAUew== /home/sitaram/.ssh/id_rsa
-
- On a typical server there will be only one or two of these lines.
-
- Note that the last bit (`/home/sitaram/.ssh/id_rsa`) is purely a *comment*
- field and can be anything. Also, the actual lines are much longer, about
- 400 characters; I snipped 'em in the middle, as you can see.
-
- In contrast, pubkey lines that give access to git repos hosted by gitolite
- looks like this:
-
- command="[some path]src/gl-auth-command sitaram",[some restrictions] ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC[snip]s18OnB42oQ== sitaram@sita-lt
-
- You will have many more of these lines -- one for every pubkey file in
- `keydir/` of your gitolite-admin repo, with the corresponding username in
- place of "sitaram" in the example above.
-
- The "command=" at the beginning ensures that when someone with the
- corresponding private key logs in, they don't get a shell. Instead, the
- `gl-auth-command` program is run, and (in this example) is given the
- argument `sitaram`. This is how gitolite is invoked, (and is told the
- user logging in is "sitaram").
-
- * config file; this file has an entry for gitolite access:
-
- ~/.ssh/config
-
- Let's step back a bit. Normally, you might expect to access gitolite
- repos like this:
-
- ssh://git@server/reponame.git
-
- But this won't work, because this ends up using the *default* keypair
- (normally), which gives you a command line. Which means it won't invoke
- the `gl-auth-command` program at all, and so none of gitolite's access
- control will work.
-
- You need to force ssh to use the *other* keypair when performing a git
- operation. With just ssh, that would be
-
- ssh -i ~/.ssh/sitaram git@server
-
- but git does not support putting an alternate keypair in the URL.
-
- Luckily, ssh has a very convenient way of capturing all the mundane
- information (username, hostname, port number (if it's not the default 22),
- and keypair to be used) in one "paragraph". This is what the para looks
- like for us (the easy install script puts it there the first time):
-
- host gitolite
- user git
- hostname server
- identityfile ~/.ssh/sitaram
-
- (The "gitolite" can be anything you want of course; it's like an alias for
- all the stuff below it). This ensures that typing
-
- ssh gitolite
-
- is equivalent to
-
- ssh -i ~/.ssh/sitaram git@server
-
- and therefore this:
-
- git clone gitolite:reponame.git
-
- now works as expected, invoking the special keypair instead of the default
- one.
-
-### sanity checks
-
- * `ssh gitolite` should get you the `SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND` error. If you
- get a command line, something is wrong
-
- * conversely, `ssh git@server` should get you a command line
-
- * the "origin" URL in any clones should look like `gitolite:reponame.git`
- instead of something more complex
-
-### two gitolite servers to manage?
-
- * they can have the same key; no harm there (example, sitaram.pub)
-
- * instead of just one ssh/config para, you now have two (assuming that the
- remote user on both machines is called "git"):
-
- host gitolite
- user git
- hostname server
- identityfile ~/.ssh/sitaram
-
- host gitolite2
- user git
- hostname server2
- identityfile ~/.ssh/sitaram
