Issue when trying to access our GitHub repo

[delpic]

Expected Behavior

I am expecting that the process running should access the GitHub repo I defined and clone it. Our GitHub account is an Enterprise account.

Actual Behavior

Getting the following error from the credential-initializer container:

invalid value "elastic-github-ssh-key=github.com" for flag -ssh-git: exit status 1
Usage of /ko-app/creds-init:
  -basic-docker value
    	List of secret=url pairs.
  -basic-git value
    	List of secret=url pairs.
  -docker-cfg string
    	Docker .dockercfg secret file.
  -docker-config string
    	Docker config.json secret file.
  -ssh-git value
    	List of secret=url pairs.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Here are the yaml files I created:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
type: kubernetes.io/ssh-auth
metadata:
  name: elastic-github-ssh-key
  annotations:
    tekton.dev/git-0: github.com
data:
  ssh-privatekey: XXXXXXXXX
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: elastic-github-build-bot
secrets:
  - name: elastic-github-ssh-key
---
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: test
spec:
  resources:
    inputs:
      - name: repo
        type: git
  steps:
    - name: run-test
      image: golang:1.14-alpine
      workingDir: /workspace/repo/src
      command: ["go"]
      args: ["test"]

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1alpha1
kind: PipelineResource
metadata:
  name: git-pull
spec:
  type: git
  params:
    - name: url
      value: [email protected]:XXXXX/elastic.git
    - name: revision
      value: master

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: TaskRun
metadata:
  name: testrun
spec:
  serviceAccountName: elastic-github-build-bot
  taskRef:
    name: test
  resources:
    inputs:
      - name: repo
        resourceRef:
          name: git-pull

Deployed in this order:

1. kubectl apply -f git-task.yaml
2. kubectl apply -f git-pipeline.yaml
3. kubectl apply -f git-taskrun.yaml

Can provide further info as needed. Thanks in advance.

Hey @delpic thanks for the issue report!

There are a couple things you can try to see if they remedy the problem:

• First, do you make use of a corporate VPN? If so, another user mentioned here that being disconnected from the VPN can cause this error.
• Second, does it work if you specify a known_hosts file in the Secret? This shouldn't be required but has been mentioned as another possible source of this error.

Essentially the problem seems to appear when there is network connectivity trouble of some kind. So that might be the first thing to try debugging.

If you continue to hit the problem, could you provide the pod YAML that backs the TaskRun? The TaskRun YAML should show you the Pod's name under the podName field. Then you can get the pod's YAML with something like:

kubectl get -o yaml pod testrun-pod-<random letters>

Thanks for the follow up @sbwsg!

I think this issue most likely falls into the second scenario that you mentioned as our GitHub is not on-prem.

I tried specifying known_hosts into the Secret. I am now getting the following error:

{"level":"error","ts":1590543652.4407206,"caller":"git/git.go:41","msg":"Error running git [fetch --recurse-submodules=yes --depth=1 origin --update-head-ok --force master]: exit status 128\nssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Operation timed out\r\nfatal: Could not read from remote repository.\n\nPlease make sure you have the correct access rights\nand the repository exists.\n","stacktrace":"github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/pkg/git.run\n\tgithub.com/tektoncd/pipeline/pkg/git/git.go:41\ngithub.com/tektoncd/pipeline/pkg/git.Fetch\n\tgithub.com/tektoncd/pipeline/pkg/git/git.go:116\nmain.main\n\tgithub.com/tektoncd/pipeline/cmd/git-init/main.go:53\nruntime.main\n\truntime/proc.go:203"}

I tried troubleshooting further, but no luck.

Here is the pod YAML that you requested:

@sbwsg, my colleague pointed my to:

#1271

seems like this maybe the issue I am currently running into at the moment. Going to try the fix that you mentioned in the above issue.

Tried the fix, but same result. Though there is a symlink error after introducing the fix from above:

Thanks for the great info, this is all very helpful as we debug. So, it appears right now like the credentials are being initialized as we expect them to be. We can tell this because: a) the creds-init initContainer has both the correct arg (-ssh-git=elastic-github-ssh-key=github.com) and mounted secret (mountPath: /tekton/creds-secrets/elastic-github-ssh-key, name: tekton-internal-secret-volume-elastic-github-ssh-key-96llp) and b) the warning creating symlink: symlink /root/.ssh /root/.ssh: file exists implies to me that the Git PipelineResource is doing the right thing, which is symlinking from /tekton/home/.ssh to /root/.ssh.

You mentioned trying the fix from #1271 but could you confirm what the fix was you tried? If you flipped the disable-home-env-overwrite feature flag then I first suggest flipping it back to "false" so that we're debugging from the same baseline as before.

Here's what I suggest trying next: Run a TaskRun that will give us more insight into what the initialized credentials look like. Here's an example:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: TaskRun
metadata:
  name: debug-testrun
spec:
  serviceAccountName: elastic-github-build-bot
  params:
  - name: url
    value: [email protected]:xxxxx/elastic.git # TODO: update this url
  taskSpec:
    params:
    - name: url
      type: string
    steps:
    - name: check-creds
      image: alpine/git:v2.24.3
      script: |
        #!/usr/bin/env ash
        set -xe
        id
        for f in /tekton/home/.ssh/* ; do
          cat $f
        done
        ln -s /tekton/home/.ssh /root/.ssh
        git clone $(params.url)

Update the url param in the above TaskRun and then kubectl apply it. Once that's done, get the log output from the TaskRun's Pod. You'll need the pod's name from the podName field from the TaskRun YAML again and then you can run kubectl logs -f <pod name>.

Once you have the pod logs, take a look at the SSH private key that was printed. Does it match the original you have? If not then this is likely the problem - the key has not survived the translation to base64 in the Secret and back again. If it does match what you have locally then were there any errors from the git clone at the end of the TaskRun? If not then I think the problem is that the SSH key doesn't have permission to access the repo in question. If it does then something else, very specific to the Git PipelineResource, is going wrong and we'll need to debug further.

I'm very curious to hear the outcome from this debugging, please keep me posted. Remember to sanitize the log output of any credentials or other sensitive information if you want to post it here to show findings.

[delpic]

Thanks @sbwsg!

Regarding #1271, I had set the disable-home-env-overwrite to True, but I reverted it back to False.

I ran the TaskRun yaml you provided. Here is the error I received:

Cloning into 'elastic'...
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Operation timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I can confirm that the private key does match up with the original. As far as permissions go, I added this as a deploy key, but did not give it write access as it will only be used to clone.

So something specific to the Git PipelineResource then?

[ghost]

Hmmm this is really odd. If the SSH key is working then I would have assumed that the git clone should have succeeded.

ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Operation timed out

This seems very much like a network problem to me. To double check this I suggest running a new TaskRun with a script that does sleep 3000, then kubectl exec into the container and try wgetting github.com. Here's another example:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: TaskRun
metadata:
  name: debug-testrun
spec:
  serviceAccountName: elastic-github-build-bot
  params:
  - name: url
    value: [email protected]:xxxx/elastic.git # TODO: update this url
  taskSpec:
    params:
    - name: url
      type: string
    steps:
    - name: check-creds
      image: alpine/git:v2.24.3
      script: |
        #!/usr/bin/env ash
        set -xe
        id
        ln -s /tekton/home/.ssh /root/.ssh
        sleep 3000

Then kubectl apply this taskrun and run the following command:

kubectl exec debug-testrun-pod-<random letters> -c step-check-creds -it /bin/ash

This will put you inside the container created for the Task's Step. Then you can run something like this:

cd /tekton/home
wget github.com

This should get you a response like this:

Connecting to github.com (140.82.113.3:80)
Connecting to github.com (140.82.113.3:443)
saving to 'index.html'
index.html           100% |**************************************************************************************************************|  128k  0:00:00 ETA
'index.html' saved

If that succeeds then try something like this:

ssh [email protected]

Which should net you a response like this:

PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Hi sbwsg/private! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Connection to github.com closed.

Then finally run exit to quit the container's shell and delete the TaskRun to clean up the sleeping process. Let me know what happens when you try these commands, I'm very puzzled.

Also, another question: which platform are you running on? Is this locally in minikube, on something like gke / aws, on something like openshift, or a bare metal k8s cluster?

[delpic]

Thanks @sbwsg. Doing some further debugging on our end, it seems that we are blocking port 22 on the network that the clusters are running on. Our platform runs on aws, so we will be updating to allow traffic through.

Thank you for all the help you have provided!!
