Clone private git repo with dockerfile

bash, docker, git

Solution

My key was password protected which was causing the problem, a working file is now listed below (for help of future googlers)

FROM ubuntu

MAINTAINER Luke Crooks "luke@pumalo.org"

# Update aptitude with new repo
RUN apt-get update

# Install software 
RUN apt-get install -y git
# Make ssh dir
RUN mkdir /root/.ssh/

# Copy over private key, and set permissions
# Warning! Anyone who gets their hands on this image will be able
# to retrieve this private key file from the corresponding image layer
ADD id_rsa /root/.ssh/id_rsa

# Create known_hosts
RUN touch /root/.ssh/known_hosts
# Add bitbuckets key
RUN ssh-keyscan bitbucket.org >> /root/.ssh/known_hosts

# Clone the conf files into the docker container
RUN git clone git@bitbucket.org:User/repo.git

Problem

I have copied this code from what seems to be various working dockerfiles around, here is mine: ``` FROM ubuntu MAINTAINER Luke Crooks "luke@pumalo.org" # Update aptitude with new repo RUN apt-get update # Install software RUN apt-get install -y git python-virtualenv # Make ssh dir RUN mkdir /root/.ssh/ # Copy over private key, and set permissions ADD id_rsa /root/.ssh/id_rsa RUN chmod 700 /root/.ssh/id_rsa RUN chown -R root:root /root/.ssh # Create known_hosts RUN touch /root/.ssh/known_hosts # Remove host checking RUN echo "Host bitbucket.org\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n" >> /root/.ssh/config # Clone the conf files into the docker container RUN git clone git@bitbucket.org:Pumalo/docker-conf.git /home/docker-conf ``` This gives me the error ``` Step 10 : RUN git clone git@bitbucket.org:Pumalo/docker-conf.git /home/docker-conf ---> Running in 0d244d812a54 Cloning into '/home/docker-conf'... Warning: Permanently added 'bitbucket.org,131.103.20.167' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. 2014/04/30 16:07:28 The command [/bin/sh -c git clone git@bitbucket.org:Pumalo/docker-conf.git /home/docker-conf] returned a non-zero code: 128 ``` This is my first time using dockerfiles, but from what I have read (and taken from working configs) I cannot see why this doesn't work. My id_rsa is in the same folder as my dockerfile and is a copy of my local key which can clone this repo no problem. Edit: In my dockerfile I can add: ``` RUN cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa ``` And it prints out the correct key, so I know its being copied correctly. I have also tried to do as noah advised and ran: ``` RUN echo "Host bitbucket.org\n\tIdentityFile /root/.ssh/id_rsa\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no" >> /etc/ssh/ssh_config ``` This sadly also doesn't work.
