Fabric asks for password even though I can SSH using credential
django, fabric, python, ssh
Solution
You can add:
ssh.util.log_to_file("paramiko.log", 10)
To the top of your fabfile, after the imports, to get more detailed information about the authorization process.
Problem
I'm having an odd problem while deploying a Django site using Fabric. I've configured two servers to use key files for login. I can SSH into both without a password. I can run fab on one correctly, ``` $ fab live pull [mysite.com] Executing task 'pull' [mysite.com] run: test -d proj [mysite.com] run: test -d proj/.git [mysite.com] run: git pull origin master ... ``` while the other server asks for a password: ``` $ fab staging pull [dev.mysite.com] Executing task 'pull' [dev.mysite.com] run: test -d proj [dev.mysite.com] Login password: ``` The fabfile is set up pretty explicitly ``` def staging(): env.hosts = ['dev.mysite.com'] env.user = 'bamboo' env.key_filename = '~/.ssh/id_dsa_bamboo' ``` And running ssh directly from the command line works ``` $ ssh bamboo@dev.mysite.com -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa_bamboo Last login: Wed Apr 11 06:24:28 2012 from xxx.xxx.xx.xx [bamboo@dev ~]$ ``` I also tried setting `env.use_ssh_config = True` and running with `~/.ssh/config` set to ``` Host dev.mysite.com User bamboo IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa_bamboo ForwardAgent yes ``` Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks for the help.
