Capistrano keeps asking me for password for every deplyoyment. How do I not let it happen?

ruby version 1.8.7 REE

capistrano version 2.5.19

Here is my capfile and directory permissions.

Everything up-to-date
 ** transaction: start

Update

OK, i am in a super bad mess, now I get this error.

http://pastie.org/1190332

I added a "deploy" user like..

adduser --system --home /home/deploy --shell /bin/bash --ingroup nogroup deploy
chmod u+w /etc/sudoers
echo "deploy  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
chmod u-w /etc/sudoers

Then I added the configuration you mentioned in my .ssh/config file.

Host prod
  Hostname xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
  User deploy
  ForwardAgent yes

Please help!

  • Your new error is because your new user 'deploy' probably doesn't have access to the files you're trying to update from git. Just rename the user in your .ssh/config file back to the original one you were connecting with... – Andrew Vit Sep 30 '10 at 04:44

Github is probably asking for your password because it's not getting your ssh key when connecting from your server. Set up agent forwarding in your ~/.ssh/config:

Host my_deploy_server
  Hostname 1.2.3.4
  User deploy
  ForwardAgent yes

Host *
  ForwardAgent no

  • my deploy_server in this case is my desktop where I am deploying from? – badnaam Sep 29 '10 at 23:24
  • No, this is a convenience name for the server you're deploying to: name it whatever you like. This also lets you do `ssh myserver` instead of having to spell out `ssh deploy@myserver.example.com` – Andrew Vit Sep 29 '10 at 23:37

    Don't you also need `ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true` in the deploy script? or is that for something else? – zetetic Sep 30 '10 at 01:21
  • and what is the Hostname 1.2.3.4? – badnaam Sep 30 '10 at 01:27

  • The Hostname and User are just the address & username you use to connect to your server. Hostname can be IP address or domain name. – Andrew Vit Sep 30 '10 at 04:41
  • zetetic is right, you can use `ssh_options[:forward_agent]` in your deploy script as well, but that only sets it for capistrano, not when you connect directly using ssh. – Andrew Vit Sep 30 '10 at 04:43

It's probably the password for your server. Try setting shared keys between the machine you are deploying from and the destination servers.
