git - Clone Azure Repository on cPanel

Question

I am trying to clone Azure hosted repository on a cPanel account. I have generated public and private SSH keys from cPanel -> Manage SSH Keys section.

Later I have added the public key in my Azure account following this link. When I use the SSH URL (eg: [email protected]/MyProject) to clone the repository on cPanel it throws below exception

Error: (XID azuvpp) “/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git” reported error code “128” when it ended:
Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (password,publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Note - The idea here is to try implement CI/CD to automate push deployment on cPanel whenever there is a commit on master branch in Azure repository.

Open to ideas and suggestions

Answer 1

Try and test that SSH access from the cPanel terminal (cPanel >> Home >> Advanced >> Terminal)

ssh -Tv [email protected]

Check in particular if your public/private ssh keys filenames are mentioned in the output (if your keys are not the standard default ~/.ssh/id_rsa, you would need a ~/.ssh/config file in order to specify the private key file path)
