`repo import` fails with `Error: Unauthorized`

[Markus Zoppelt]

Describe the bug

Importing a public GitHub repository fails with Error: Unauthorized

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup soft-serve with default config
2. Try to import a public GitHub repository [as a mirror]

e.g. ssh soft repo import -m dotfiles 'https://github.com/MarkusZoppelt/dotfiles'

Expected behavior
The public GitHub repository gets imported and mirrored in soft-serve.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64
• Terminal Alacritty
• Version soft version v0.5.2 (c93630e)

Do you have access to the server? Are you using the right SSH keys? Could you try adding your key to SOFT_SERVE_INITIAL_ADMIN_KEYS environment variable before starting the server?

Do you have access to the server? Are you using the right SSH keys? Could you try adding your key to SOFT_SERVE_INITIAL_ADMIN_KEYS environment variable before starting the server?

Yes, I can connect to the server and my ssh keys are configured/saved.

Works:

❯ ssh soft
<shows TUI>

❯ ssh soft repos list
<repo1>
<repo2>
<...>

Does NOT work:

❯ ssh soft repo import -m dotfiles 'https://github.com/MarkusZoppelt/dotfiles'
Error: Unauthorized

[Ayman Bagabas]

What do you get when ssh soft info? Do you see your key listed? Make sure that you're using the correct ssh key, you could verify that using ssh -v ...

[Markus Zoppelt]

❯ ssh soft info
Error: unknown command "info" for ""
Run ' --help' for usage.

❯ ssh -v soft repo import -m dotfiles 'https://github.com/MarkusZoppelt/dotfiles'

Seems like the last command does not use / know my correct key, which is on a YubiKey using https://github.com/FiloSottile/yubikey-agent

I tried appending -v to the soft-serve commands and that didn't help. Adding it to ssh does the trick. Now I can debug the issue on my own, thanks!

[Markus Zoppelt]

Sorry, issue was on my end. Tried again with a different key on a different machine and there everything works fine.
