Hello @Nicolas @Erik @Khem,
Update from my side:
After following some discussion from other posts, I added "config" file.
~/.ssh/config:
Host git.example.com
HostName git.example.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
# LogLevel DEBUG3
Then I did "eval `ssh-agent -s`"
Then doing "ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub" results in:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Permissions 0644 for '/root/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub' are too open.
It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
This private key will be ignored.
Whereas the permissions are set as:
ls -l -a ~/.ssh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 157 Jan 31 10:48 config
-rw------- 1 root root 464 Jan 20 15:26 id_ed25519
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109 Jan 20 15:26 id_ed25519.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 888 Jan 26 08:43 known_hosts
"ssh-agent" is running
ssh-agent
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-lcft54A4nriC/agent.2833; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=2834; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 2834;
After doing these changes, when I try to "ssh -v git.example.com" to test the connection before running bitbake, I get
OpenSSH_8.2p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.4, OpenSSL 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020
debug1: Reading configuration data /root/.ssh/config

debug1: connect to address 116.203.241.xxx port 22: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host git.example.com port 22: Connection refused
I don't understand what is the issue here.
@Nicolas Can you please let me know where and how to run below commands? Do I need to run them every time before fetching from gitlab?
-v $SSH_AUTH_SOCK:/ssh.socket \
-e SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/ssh.socket \
And also I already have "known_hosts" file with matching entries for key/agent pair.
Can you please let me know how to make this working?
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
