Deploy repository using SSH and Pipelines

EVO_9

The documentation on Pipelines is shocking and nearly every post I have read, the user has had issues setting this up and ended up moving to Jenkins which gets recommended a lot. I would like to keep this in-house seeing as I'm already using Bitbucket.

I have successfully added my key to Bitbucket which allows me to post my local files to my Bitbucket repository.

 

I then enable Pipelines, create an environment variable called MY_SSH_KEY with my public ssh key, I also encoded it using the following link and pasted it into the variable.

 

I just can't get this to work and I'm on the verge of jumping ship as well as I've wasted a week on this.

 

Here's my Pipeline code

pipelines: 
    default: 
        - step: 
            script:  
                - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
                    - cat my_known_hosts >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
                    - (umask  077 ; echo $MY_SSH_KEY | base64 --decode -i > ~/.ssh/id_rsa)
                    - ssh user@domain 'bash -s' < ./deploy.bash

The error I'm getting is:

 

+ cat my_known_hosts >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

bash: /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/tmp/bashScript4585730180615321479.sh: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token `;&'

Can someone please help me to do this and not just paste a link  as it's more than likely I have already read the link.

Hi Daniel,

It looks like you've found some old Community questions. Sorry, we've forgotten to keep these responses up to date.

If you tell me what you're specifically trying to do I can give you a more catered answer. I've posted an updated response here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Re-How-can-I-use-SSH-in-Bitbucket-Pipelines/qaq-p/764824/comment-id/25670#M25670

Here's a copy of some of it here:

Up to date as of 04/04/2018.

For example. I want to clone repo-2 into a build from repo-1

To use SSH to clone another repository from Bitbucket you need to do the following.

1. In repo-1 generate a Pipelines SSH key to be injected into your build container. Follow Step 1 here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/use-ssh-keys-in-bitbucket-pipelines-847452940.html
   • Note that if the known hosts information for bitbucket.org and github.com are injected by default. If you are using any other site you will need to configure Known Hosts, by following Step 2 in the above documentation.
2. Add an Access Key to repo-2. Paste in the public key that was generated in the previous step.
3. Configure your bitbucket-pipelines-yml to use git.

Can you also share some of the links you've looked at previously? I'd like to update them so other people don't run into the same issue as you. I'm in the process of updating some of the highly ranked ones that showed up on Google for me now.

Thanks,

Phil
