Hello! I saw a lot of topics related to ssh but not a single advice helped. **My problem is: i can’t connect to server via ssh, so can’t clone\push git repo.** My setup of Getia: 1. Proxmox LX container. Local network with full access: 192.168.33.41 2. my server hostname: giteahome.local; my ip: 192.168.33.41 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gitea/original/2X/7/7aad39bf93ed409e8661ad27950f5b3b386d3f6b.png) 3. My config ```auto [server] PROTOCOL=https REDIRECT_OTHER_PORT=true CERT_FILE = /etc/gitea/cert.pem KEY_FILE = /etc/gitea/key.pem SSH_DOMAIN = giteahome.local DOMAIN = giteahome.local HTTP_PORT = 443 ROOT_URL = https://giteahome.local/ APP_DATA_PATH = /var/lib/gitea/data DISABLE_SSH = false SSH_PORT = 22 LFS_START_SERVER = true LFS_JWT_SECRET = _ft6y02cCPMpAesXVZEpdvRJ41N0y49EyZLtLPO17Pc OFFLINE_MODE = false ``` I use 443 port with self signed cert: ```auto #Cd to the gitea directory cd /etc/gitea #sign cert gitea cert --host giteahome.local #Give gitea user read permissions chown root:gitea cert.pem key.pem chmod 640 cert.pem key.pem #Restart gitea systemctl restart gitea ``` There is no port redirection or anything else, i use 22 port for ssh. 1. All work perfectly wia https ```auto git -c http.sslVerify=false https://giteahome.local/alexeygrishchenko/testrepo.git ``` But is still don’t wok with SSH. My steps are: 1. Windows 10 client + VSCode 2. Go to console ```auto ssh-keygen ``` I try different names and type of RSA keys - there is no result. 3. My setup on config file for git: ```auto Host giteahome.local HostName giteahome.local User gitea Port 22 PreferredAuthentications publickey PasswordAuthentication no # CMD IdentityFile C:\Users\Admin\.ssh\gitea_rsa_key # BASH IdentityFile /c/Users/Admin/.ssh/gitea_rsa_key ``` I also try ip instead of DNS name, no result. ```auto PS C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\git_test\testgitea\testrepo2> ssh -T gitea@192.168.33.41 The authenticity of host '192.168.33.41 (192.168.33.41)' can't be established.

PS C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\git_test\testgitea\testrepo2> history ``` My local known\_hosts file after try to SSH looks like nornal: **giteahome.local,192.168.33.41 ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2VjZH…** Then i try git clone ```auto PS C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\git_test\testgitea\testrepo2> git clone ssh://gitea@giteahome.local/alexeygrishchenko/testrepo.git Cloning into 'testrepo'... gitea@giteahome.local: Permission denied (publickey,password). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. ``` I know issue with this: Wrong: **git clone gitea@giteahome.local:alexeygrishchenko/testrepo.git** Correct: **git clone ssh://gitea@giteahome.local/alexeygrishchenko/testrepo.git** I also try with port 443 **git clone ssh://gitea@giteahome.local:443/alexeygrishchenko/testrepo.git** and with Ip - no result ```auto PS C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\git_test\testgitea\testrepo2> git clone ssh://gitea@giteahome.local/alexeygrishchenko/testrepo.git Cloning into 'testrepo'... gitea@giteahome.local: Permission denied (publickey,password). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. ``` I try to add the gitea user to the **AllowUsers in /etc/ssh/sshd\_config** in my container - no result. Can someone tell me what is wrong???
