Setup git repository on gentoo server using gitosis & ssh
- by ikso
I installed git and gitosis as described here in this guide Here are the steps I took:
Server: Gentoo
Client: MAC OS X
1) git install
emerge dev-util/git
2) gitosis install
cd ~/src
git clone git://eagain.net/gitosis.git
cd gitosis
python setup.py install
3) added git user
adduser --system --shell /bin/sh --comment 'git version control' --no-user-group --home-dir /home/git git
In /etc/shadow now:
git:!:14665::::::
4) On local computer (Mac OS X) (local login is ipx, server login is expert)
ssh-keygen -t dsa
got 2 files:
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
~/.ssh/id_dsa
5) Copied id_dsa.pub onto server
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
Added content from file ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub into file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
cp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub /tmp/id_dsa.pub
sudo -H -u git gitosis-init < /tmp/id_rsa.pub
sudo chmod 755 /home/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks/post-update
6) Added 2 params to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
Full sshd_config:
Protocol 2
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
UsePAM yes
PrintMotd no
PrintLastLog no
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib64/misc/sftp-server
7) Local settings in file ~/.ssh/config:
Host myserver.com.ua
User expert
Port 22
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa
8) Tested:
ssh [email protected]
Done!
9) Next step. There I have problem
git clone [email protected]:gitosis-admin.git
cd gitosis-admin
SSH asked password for user git. Why ssh should allow me to login as user git? The git user doesn't have a password. The ssh key I created is for the user expert. How this should work?
Do I have to add some params to sshd_config?
