The following instructions only work with SSH keys with no passphrase defined.

Scripting and SSH configurations are unsupported and the support for the same is not guaranteed.

Purpose

Set up Bamboo to be able to push source code to your repository using the SSH protocol (from the Bamboo server or a Bamboo remote agent).

Solution

1. Editing "hosts" file and setting up SSH

For Linux/Unix:

  • Edit "hosts" file

Provide a hostname to access our repository in Stash/Bitbucket Server, e.g.

192.168.10.85    stash.repository

  • Set up SSH config file

Edit $HOME/.ssh/config and add the following:

# contents of $HOME/.ssh/config
Host stash.repository
	StrictHostKeyChecking no
	HostName 192.168.10.85
	IdentityFile /root/.ssh/id_rsa

Host

This means that you can simply type $ ssh stash.repository and the options will be read from the configuration file.

StrictHostKeyCheckingIf this flag is set to "no", SSH will automatically add new host keys to the user's known_hosts file.
HostName

Specifies the real host name to log into.

IdentityFileThe use of IdentityFile allows you to specify exactly which private key you wish to use for authentication with the given host.


Refer to ssh_config for further information.

For Windows:

  • Generate Public and Private Keys:

For accessing stash (cloud or server) over SSH we will need SSH Public and Private keys and for generating these keys there are two ways:

  1. Using OpenSSH Client - For this, we need to install the OpenSSH Client on the windows and then use the commands to generate the keys.
  2. Using Putty to generate the keys -

In this article, we will be using Putty for generating the SSH keys.

Steps for installing and generating keys using Putty:

  1. Download the Putty client for the windows and install.
  2. Go to the Putty install directory and then execute the "puttygen" application.
  3. Hit on "Generate" and then start moving your mouse to generate the keys.
  4. Once the keys are generated, copy the public key and save it to the directory "<path-to-Users>\<user-name>\.ssh" with the file name "id_rsa.pub"
  5. Now in your "puttygen" application, go to "Conversions" and then select "Export OpenSSH Key" to export the private key to the directory "<path-to-Users>\<user-name>\.ssh" with the file name "id_rsa"
  6. Add the public key to the Bitbucket.

  • Editing "hosts" file ("C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts")

Provide a hostname to access our repository in Stash/Bitbucket Server, e.g.

192.168.10.85    stash.repository

2. Set up Script task

In Bamboo, add a Script task to your existing Job after the Source Code Checkout task:

Script task "git push - no passphrase" 
echo "# =================== #"
echo "# git remote set-url origin"
echo "# =================== #"
git remote set-url origin "ssh://stash.repository:7999/bam/ssh.git"

echo "# =================== #"
echo "# git config -l"
echo "# =================== #"
git config -l

echo "# =================== #"
echo "# git config user"
echo "# =================== #"
git config --local user.name root
git config --local user.email root@localhost

echo "# =================== #"
echo "# create file"
echo "# =================== #"
echo "${bamboo.planKey}-${bamboo.buildNumber}" >> file.txt

echo "# =================== #"
echo "# git add file.txt"
echo "# =================== #"
git add file.txt

echo "# =================== #"
echo "# git commit"
echo "# =================== #"
git commit -m "add ${bamboo.planKey}-${bamboo.buildNumber}"

echo "# =================== #"
echo "# git push origin master"
echo "# =================== #"
git push origin master


Test

Run a new build and you should find the following in the build logs:
