Spring Cloud Config Trying to connect to a remote bitbucket using ssh private and public keys. Getting a shedload of exceptions

I am getting the following error when I try to connect spring cloud config to a bitbucket repo. .c.s.e.MultipleJGitEnvironmentRepository : Error occured cloning to base directory. org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.TransportException: git@bitbucket.org:myapp/configurations.git: failed to send channel request at org.eclipse.jgit.api.FetchCommand.call(FetchCommand.java:224) ~[org.eclipse.jgit-5.12.0.202106070339-r.jar:5.12.0.202106070339-r] at org.eclipse.jgit.api.CloneCommand.fetch(CloneCommand.java:303) ~[org.eclipse.jgit-5.12.0.202106070339-r.jar:5.12.0.202106070339-r] at org.eclipse.jgit.api.CloneCommand.call(CloneCommand.java:178) ~[org.eclipse.jgit-5.12.0.202106070339-r.jar:5.12.0.202106070339-r]

I have no idea what the error means.

There is not really much in the info you gave for us to say what might be wrong. If you can give us a way to reproduce the problem we can try to help.

Ok I have changed the code slightly. Looking at the docs and the examples. It seems that to connect spring cloud config to bitbucket. You either have to include a user name and password, which will give access to the whole of the repository. Or use ssh key with a public key and a private key set up in the application properties or yml file.

I would rather not do either. In BitBucket you can create a Access Key in Repository settings. What I would like to do is use that key to access that repository. So in my yml file I have the following. I want to connect to the repo uri: git@bitbucket.org:myproject/configurations.git, on branch dev,

Now in my bit bucket I have a Access Key config-key and the key is "ssh-rsa xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx== myemail@.com"

spring: cloud: config: server: git: uri: git@bitbucket.org:myproject/configurations.git clone-on-start: true default-label: dev hostKey: config-key

But I get the exception reject HostKey. Is the HostKey access Key, and do you give it the label or do you have to put the full key

`spring: cloud: config: server: git: uri: git@bitbucket.org:myproject/configurations.git clone-on-start: true default-label: dev hostKey: "ssh-rsa xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx== myemail@.com"

All the examples expect that you are either going to include a password and username or a private key. I just want to go for the simplest neatest solution using the Access Key to just access the one repository

This is application,yml I created it uses a passphrase a private key, that matches a public rsh key I created , that I put into a BitBucket repository settings. I followed a how to do to the letter and I am getting a Caused by: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: failed to send channel request at com.jcraft.jsch.Request.write(Request.java:65) ~[jsch-0.1.55.jar:na] at com.jcraft.jsch.RequestEnv.request(RequestEnv.java:52) ~[jsch-0.1.55.jar:na] at com.jcraft.jsch.ChannelSession.sendRequests(ChannelSession.java:222) ~[jsch-0.1.55.jar:na] at com.jcraft.jsch.ChannelExec.start(ChannelExec.java:41) ~[jsch-0.1.55.jar:na] at com.jcraft.jsch.Channel.connect(Channel.java:152) ~[jsch-0.1.55.jar:na]

All I want is something that works that does not need a pass word and a username. Thanks
