Tools Repo

I modified the original post to clear up the instructions.

Thanks :) Could you also look into adding a link to the ICLA on the portal page?

I cannot for the life of me get this to work.

@jporter:

If you are being prompted for a password your ssh-key is not working.

This ^^

@jporter:

Check your local ssh-agent and make sure it is running. Check that your ssh public key is valid and correct in your profile. Sometimes cutting and pasting can introduce unwanted whitespace/newlines.

Checked.

@jporter:

DSA Keys longer than 512 characters will ~~fail~~ work in the portal. Keys encoded up to 1024 bytes are ok. Still avoid newlines.

Checked.

@jporter:

If there are other pointers suggestions you can add them here, and I'll update the post.

What is really missing is a full example of all the little steps from scratch. By that, I mean showing the correct sequence of "ssh-agent" commands, and so on for generating a key file. With some kind of example of what the public key should actually look like, once pasted into the web form / input box.

See here for other such guides:

[EDIT]
On IRC, someone say they signed up long ago with this link, to get LA:

https://portal.pfsense.org/members/signup/la

However that not work anymore. So I wonder it that have anything to do with it. Because my subscription only have ICLA and LA accepted (but not TLA). Many thanks.

EDIT: moderator edit to correct incorrect link

Hi all!

I try " git clone git@git.pfsense.org:pfsense-tools" but unsucessfull. It ask me type password for git@git.pfsense.org

I think i have mistake about ssh public key.

But my ssh public key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) and key on https://portal.pfsense.org/members/signup/LA (my profile) are same.

people can help me fix it…!

thanks...!

Open/create ~/.ssh/config in an editor of you choice.
Put stuff there similar to:

Host git.pfsense.org
Hostname git.pfsense.org
User git
IdentityFile /home/me/.ssh/me.privkey

none

Tried this idea, no good here :(

root@pfsense-22:/tmp/git-teste # git clone git@git.pfsense.org:pfsense-tools tools
Cloning into 'tools'...
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

created the config file, and no good. Tried without also, same problem. sometimes I get this error above, other times ask for password.

Same issue in this thread –> https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=79413.0

Seems to be a DNS issue ..

git clone git@git.pfsense.org:pfsense-tools tools
Cloning into 'tools'…
Password for git@git.pfense.org:

notice it returns as pfense.org not pfSense.org.
Before I could circumvent this by lookup up git.pfsense.org and simply punching in the IP directly… This obviously shouldnt be working like that... but it did..
Anyway that no longer works.

So I guess we are waiting for someone to fix this in the config.

Please fix this ...
Thanks!

Can't be that admins/devs/mods are unaware of the issue. That's just improbable mathematically. Help has been asked in public forums over past 3 weeks quite a lot of times. If one browses forum even by skimming trough the topics, it should be noticeable enough.

Including in topics they have communicated in earlier times (It would show up in "Show new replies to your posts")

EDIT: :)

@bmeeks:

I had some private e-mail communications on Saturday with the maintainer of the Tools repo SSH access. He is aware of the problems and working on it.

A few weeks ago pfsense-tools appeared as a private repo on GitHub for me (and presumably for others that were already signed up). Can someone update the instructions here to say where the pfsense-tools repo will be found after you sign up?

wagonza

Yeah that would be nice to have. I unfortunately did not have my GitHub details in there at the time of the announcement but do now.
Unfortunately still don't have access though.

The pfsense-tools repo was showing up for me on GitHub a few weeks back, but now it seems to be gone again?!

It is still there for me, private repo and updated 7 hours ago, so it is not a general problem - I guess you are special :)

You should have received a confirmation email from github to whatever email is in your github account settings.

I see your github user in there, are you looking in the right spot?

Nope received nothing. Also double checked mail logs but no email from them.

Did you complete the ICLA/CCLA and LA part?

We are going to make a wiki page with the updated information. I'll post here when it is done. thanks for pointing that out Phil.
