Jenkins returned status code 128 with github
This error:
stderr: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
indicates that Jenkins is trying to connect to github with the wrong ssh key.
You should:
- Determine the user that jenkins runs as, eg. 'build' or 'jenkins'
- Login on the jenkins host that is trying to do the clone - that is, do not login to the master if a node is actually doing the build.
- Try you ssh to github - if it fails, then you need to add the proper key to
<jenkins user home>/.ssh
To check are the following:
- if the right public key (id_rsa.pub) is uploaded to the git-server.
- if the right private key (id_rsa) is copied to /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/
- if the known_hosts file is created inside ~/.ssh folder. Try
ssh -vvv [email protected]
to see debug logs. If thing goes well, github.com will be added to known_hosts. - if the permission of id_rsa is set to 700 (
chmod 700 id_rsa
)
After all checks, try ssh -vvv [email protected]
