Git SSH Key Setup for Gitea

Overview

Git is now configured to use SSH key authentication for all operations with git.mymx.me.

SSH Key Details

Location: /opt/ansible/secrets/ssh/ansible
Type: ed25519
Fingerprint: SHA256:mkgq5V567C/CJas9nbP16kNzzVqs7z7k2X90qdP0QXE
User: ansible@mymx.me
Passphrase: Stored in secrets/ssh/README.md

Configuration

Git Configuration

Git has been configured to use the SSH key:

git config core.sshCommand "ssh -i /opt/ansible/secrets/ssh/ansible"

SSH Agent Initialization

An automatic SSH agent initialization script has been created at /opt/ansible/.ssh-agent-init.

To use in new shells, add to your shell profile:

source /opt/ansible/.ssh-agent-init

This script will:

Start ssh-agent if not running
Load the ansible SSH key with passphrase automatically
Persist the agent across shell sessions

Usage

Current Shell

In your current shell, source the initialization script:

source /opt/ansible/.ssh-agent-init

Git Operations

All standard git operations now work with SSH authentication:

# Fetch updates
git fetch origin

# Pull changes
git pull origin master

# Push commits
git push origin master

# Check remote
git ls-remote origin

Manual SSH Key Management

If you need to manually manage the SSH key:

# Check loaded keys
ssh-add -l

# Add key manually (will prompt for passphrase)
ssh-add /opt/ansible/secrets/ssh/ansible

# Remove key from agent
ssh-add -d /opt/ansible/secrets/ssh/ansible

Troubleshooting

"Could not open a connection to your authentication agent"

Run the initialization script:

source /opt/ansible/.ssh-agent-init

"Permission denied (publickey)"

Ensure the key is loaded in ssh-agent:

ssh-add -l

If not listed, source the initialization script or add manually.

Verify SSH Connection

Test SSH connection to Gitea:

ssh -T git@git.mymx.me -p 2222 -i /opt/ansible/secrets/ssh/ansible

Security Notes

Private key is stored in secrets/ directory (should be in separate git repository)
Passphrase is documented in secrets/ssh/README.md
SSH key has read/write access to ansible repositories on git.mymx.me
Key was uploaded to Gitea with Key ID: 5

References

SSH config: ~/.ssh/config
Git config: .git/config (core.sshCommand)
