florianmoser / plesk-deployer Goto Github PK

Thank you for this recipe. Although I couldn't use it directly for my use case it gave me good hints where the my issues were coming from and I was able to fix them. 😊

Apparently at least since deployer version 7.x, the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable is specifically set to ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new (see here). Overriding this environment variable causes git fetch to use this specified command instead of the default ssh command (see here). Unfortunately it looks like this option is not supported on metanet which causes the deployment to fail. So to fix this you have to set it back to ssh:

set('git_ssh_command', 'ssh');

This option would be useful though since it would just add new hosts to the known hosts file without asking and only asks in case an existing host changes... :) So one has to make sure the repository host is already added to the known host file before doing the deployment otherwise it will most likely fail too.

I know this is not really an direct issue for this repository since it appears to be targeted more generally to plesk hosts but since it is linked from the metanet SSH support page I though I could document this as a hint in case anyone faces the same issue.

First of all, let me say thanks for this recipe. It just helped me successfully deploy to Metanet.

Your deployer dependency is hardcoded to 5.1.1 though, which isn't really helpful. I've used deployer 4.3 and it worked fine with your recipe.

I suggest you relax the version requirement to something like: >=4.0 <6.0
I could imagine that it'll work with deployer v6 as well, so maybe the constraint could even be changed to >=4.0 <7.0
