Always getting asked for password

[ps-20x]

I am having a problem that the ssh connection is for any reason always asking for the password.

Permission denied (publickey,password)

Steps what I have done

• Created an ssh key (ed25519)
• Added the private key to GitHub secrets in SSH_PRIVATE_KEY
• ssh to the server and add the public key to authorized_keys

My github workflow looks like

name: Deploy

on:
    push:
        branches: [ develop ]
    pull_request:

concurrency: deploy_staging

jobs:
    deploy-api-staging:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        defaults:
            run:
                working-directory: ./api

        steps:
            -   uses: actions/checkout@v3
                with:
                    ref: ${{ github.ref }}

            -   name: Setup PHP
                uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
                with:
                    php-version: "8.2"

            -   name: Install dependencies
                run: composer install

            -   name: Deploy
                uses: deployphp/action@v1
                with:
                    dep: --file=api/deploy.yaml deploy
                    private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
                    ssh-config: |
                        Host *
                          StrictHostKeyChecking no
                    skip-ssh-setup: false
                    deployer-binary: "api/vendor/bin/dep"
                    verbosity: -vvv

My config for deployer looks like

I replaced {{company}}, {{project}}, {{host}} here for the question

import:
    - recipe/laravel.php

config:
    repository: '[email protected]:{{company}}/{{project}}.git'

hosts:
    {{host}}:
        stage: staging
        remote_user: my_user
        user: my_user
        deploy_path: '~/{{project}}/api'
        forward_agent: false

tasks:
    build:
        -   run: pwd
        -   run: uptime

after:
    deploy:failed: deploy:unlock

For the moment the deploy is not really doing anything but I will update that later on. At the moment I am stuck with accessing the server without password. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve that?

Did you try to SSH into the server just from the command line, outside deployer context?

Yes, that works just fine.

Fixed it (I think, still running into deploy action issues because of deployphp/action@e71b9fe). According to https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-different-environments/using-environments-for-deployment#environment-secrets

Secrets stored in an environment are only available to workflow jobs that reference the environment

Can be closed.
