tldr: there is no /home/git directory where .ssh/authorized_keys should be. Is this the expected with Omnibus installs? System is Debian 8.2

I'm trying to set up ssh keys for my gitlab user. I can add it into the webui, but on the admin>background jobs page, sidekiq indicates a failed job.

I looked around and people mentioned fixing /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys file/directory permissions. However when I look in /home, I do not even see a /git folder, I only see my user folder and lost+found (/home is on a separate partition). Have I misunderstood something? Does the omnibus installer place the auth keys somewhere else, and is also having permission issues there?

I have fixed it by following this article http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/raketasks/maintenance.html#rebuild-authorized_keys-file

I'm not sure if this is a pre-requisite, but I created the directory and file: /home/git/.ssh/ and /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys

Then I used the permissions settings on this answer. chmod 0711 /home/git and chmod 0700 /home/git/.ssh and finally chmod 0600 /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys

Last, I proceeded with the article's instructions. I also recreated my ssh key on client-machine with the webui instructions and then added that new public key with the webui.

Didn't see any failed jobs in sidekiq. Made a test repo and attempted to clone it over ssh and it worked.

I hope this is useful to someone else.
