Bitbucket Pipeline SCP defaulting to port 22.

[Bishal Udash]

Hi, I've recently created a pipeline using atlassian/scp-deploy:1.2.1.

This is what I've done so far : 

• Repository settings > SSH keys > generate keys and placed public key in my servers authorized_keys
• generated fingerprint using host address as hostip:port

My pipeline is triggered when merging with master branch;

pipelines:

branches: #branch specific pipeline definations

master:

- step:

name: Build and Test

image: node:16

caches:

- node

script:

- yarn install

- yarn build

- echo "Build created successfyly"

artifacts:

- build/**

- step: # SCP build folder to server

name: Deployment to dev server

deployment: production

script:

- pipe: atlassian/scp-deploy:1.2.1

variables:

USER: $USER

SERVER: $SERVER

REMOTE_PATH: $REMOTE_PATH

LOCAL_PATH: 'build'

DEBUG: 'true'

EXTRA_ARGS: '-p 22222'

the logs show below error. (i've replaced real ip)

ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: No route to host

lost connection

based on this link, adding  EXTRA_ARGS: '-P 22222' should've solved it but its not in my case.

After searching for hours, found a way that works for me. We can pass extra arguments to the scp command to use port 8022, and enable extra debugging as below.

script:
  - pipe: atlassian/scp-deploy:1.2.1
    variables:
      USER: 'ec2-user'
      SERVER: '127.0.0.1'
      REMOTE_PATH: '/var/www/build/'
      LOCAL_PATH: 'build/'
      DEBUG: 'true'
      EXTRA_ARGS: ["-P", "8022"]

Yes , i've  tried using the capital letter P and non capital

• EXTRA_ARGS: '-P 22222'
• EXTRA_ARGS: '-p 22222'
