Here's a screenshot if a session where I first try to clone as ssm-user , but it fails, then I change to root and it succeeds

I do agree with your earlier observation that the target of that mount seems wrong. I would think that the volume mount should be -v /root/.ssh:/root/.ssh but instead it's -v /root.ssh:/.ssh

Haha, that was a total gotcha for me. Yeah, a lot just wasn't even getting run due to the #!/bin/bash part.

Anyway, wow! I finally got the precious console logs you thought to find, here they are:

I don't see it as an argument in Task.init or Task.execute_remotely

Trying as a python subprocess...

Actually that's wrong: really this is the current volume mount

'-v', '/tmp/clearml_agent.ssh.cbvchse1:/.ssh',

Could changing these values to /root/.ssh work? Do you know what use within the docker image ClearML is using?

The key seems to be placed in the expected location

I'm not seeing a extra_docker_shell_script in my clearml.conf generated by clearml-agent init like in this guide

Remove this from your startup script:

#!/bin/bash 

there is no need that, it actually "markes out" the entire thing

Let's see. The task log? I think this is it.

I have the same behavior whether or not I put task.execute_remotely(...) before or after the call to run_shell_script()

It's an Amazon Linux AMI with the AWS CLI pre-installed on it. It uses the AWS CLI to fetch the key from AWS SSM Parameter Store. It's granted read access to that SSM Parameter via the instance role.

So, we've been able to run sudo su and then git clone with our private repos a few times now

So I get output with this one, but the console only shows me the output from my machine. For example, the SSH key is present, and whoami results in ericriddoch

Hi @<1541954607595393024:profile|BattyCrocodile47>

I

do

have the SSH key placed at

/root/.ssh/id_rsa

on the machine,

Notice that the .ssh folder is mounted from the host (EC2 / GCP) into the container,

'-v', '/tmp/clearml_agent.ssh.cbvchse1:/.ssh'

This is odd, why is it mounting it to /.ssh and not /root/.ssh ?

Let's see. The screenshots above are me running on the host, not attaching to a running container. So I believe I do want the keys to be mounted into the running containers.

It doesn't seem to want to show me stdout

I

do

have the SSH key placed at

/root/.ssh/id_rsa

on the machine,

@<1541954607595393024:profile|BattyCrocodile47> is the SSH key part of the containers? or are you saying it is on the EC2 instance ?

I can't think of any changes we might have made on our side to cause that 🤔

Here we go. Trying with this

DM me the entire log, I would assume this is something with the configuration

Wow, it really does not want to show the output of those print statements in stdout. Here's the output of the task from the console after cloning it. Confirmed that the setup script and all code changes are present:

cc: @<1565509803839590400:profile|MoodyBear54>

configurations:
  extra_clearml_conf: ""
  extra_trains_conf: ""
  extra_vm_bash_script: |
    aws ssm get-parameter --region us-west-2 --name /clearml/github_ssh_private_key --with-decryption --query Parameter.Value --output text > ~/.ssh/id_rsa && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    source /clearml_agent_venv/bin/activate

hyper_params:
  iam_arn: arn:aws:iam::<my account id>:instance-profile/clearml-2-AutoscaledInstanceProfileAutoScaledEC2InstanceProfile56A5348F-90fmf6H5OUBx

That's with the key at /root/.ssh/id_rsa

That's with the key at

/root/.ssh/id_rsa

You mean inside the container that the autoscaler spinned ?
Notice that the agent by defult would mount the Host .ssh over the existing .ssh inside the container, if you do not want this behavior you need to set: agent.disable_ssh_mount: true in clearml.conf

oh that makes sense.
I would add to your Task's docker startup script the following:

ls -la /.ssh
ls -la ~/.ssh
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Let's see what you get

So here's a snippet from my aws_autoscaler.yaml file

Well wow, I figured it out. You equiped me with a solid debugging tool AKA running bash commands within the docker container.

I had to pre-add GitHub and Bitbucket to known hosts by adding keyscan commands

configurations:
  extra_clearml_conf: ""
  extra_trains_conf: ""
  extra_vm_bash_script: |
    echo "fetching github key" && (aws ssm get-parameter --region us-west-2 --name /clearml/github_ssh_private_key --with-decryption --query Parameter.Value --output text > ~/.ssh/id_rsa && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa) || echo "failed"
    source /clearml_agent_venv/bin/activate
    echo "fetching github key" && (aws ssm get-parameter --region us-west-2 --name /clearml/github_ssh_public_key --with-decryption --query Parameter.Value --output text > ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) || echo "failed"
    source /clearml_agent_venv/bin/activate

    # I added these new lines:
    ssh-keyscan github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
    ssh-keyscan bitbucket.org >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Or the log of the init script?
