Host key verification failed - ssh and known hosts set

[Mylene Kreiger]

Hi everyone :)

I have a typo3 project wich I want to deploy on my server via bitbucket pipeline and deployer. Everything works fine until the actual deploy on server. I always get an error "host key verification failed". 

I added a new ssh key pair in the pipeline, copied the public to my hosting provider for access, added the know hosts via bitbucket as IP-address and url with the right port:

Unfortunately my hosting provider only allows ssh for approved IP-addresses. Therefore I added all IP-addresses concerning bitbucket to the approved ones.

After all these arrangements I still get the same error and I really don't know what I am doing wrong. Would really appreciate it, if someone could help me :D

I am really sorry if I forgot some important informations, this is my first post in the community. I will provide them as quick as possible.

Greetings, Mylene

Hey @Mylene Kreiger 

Before deploying your server, try printing the contents of the known hosts file:

 cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts

This way you can verify the file contains the key for the requested server.

If it's not, you can try and add it manually during the pipeline. 

echo $(ssh-keyscan -t rsa bitbucket.org) >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Thanks @Erez Maadani  for your fast answer :)

I have added the printing and it seems bitbucket.org is in the known hosts, but still the same error. How is this possible?

Try the second command again but use your server URL/IP instead of bitbucket.org:

echo $(ssh-keyscan -t rsa your-server-url-here) >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Thanks, that worked!
