[SOLVED] Use multiple identity files - SSH

Issue

I am trying to download several private Python packages with the use of Docker.

I have the following requirements.txt:

git+ssh://[email protected]/<myorg>/<myrepo1>.git
git+ssh://[email protected]/<myorg>/<myrepo2>.git

and the following Dockerfile:

...
RUN ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/
ENV GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/key1 -i ~/.ssh/key2"
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

However, it seems only key1 is being used and I am stuck with a Please make sure you have the correct access rights error for the second repo.

The man sshpage says "It is possible to have multiple -i options (and multiple identities specified in configuration files)."

How can I source multiple ssh keys to download from different repos on the same host?

Solution

I managed to do this by using an SSH config file:

# Repo 1
Host github.com-repo-1
    HostName github.com
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/repo-1

# Repo 2
Host github.com-repo-2
    HostName github.com
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/repo-2

And in the Dockerfile:

ENV GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -F ~/.ssh/config"
