Description

I installed Gitea as described on in the documentation and except cloning via ssh works.
After installation I created a repo and also added my ssh pub key to my profile.

cloning via http works fine

git clone http://gitea.test:4000/my-user/test-repo.git
Cloning into 'testrepo'...
Username for 'http://gitea.test:4000': my-user
Password for 'http://[email protected]:4000':  ****
remote: Enumerating objects: 5, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (5/5), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
remote: Total 5 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (5/5), done.

This is ok, but I would like to use ssh-key authentication to avoid entering my credentials everytime. When I try it via ssh, I'm prompted for a password, but it is not clear which password is required.

git clone [email protected]:2222:my-user/test-repo.git                                                                                                             
Cloning into 'test-repo'...
Password:

As mentioned in several issue entries I also tried to

• Update the '.ssh/authorized_keys' file with Gitea SSH keys. (Not needed for the built-in SSH server.)
• Resynchronize pre-receive, update and post-receive hooks of all repositories.

but again without luck.

Any suggestion, how on how to setup cloning via ssh?

These are the config settings I use:

The address is not right.
git clone [email protected]:2222:my-user/test-repo.git.

Thanks for the hint. I was able to fix it now.
Let me summarize it here. Just in case somebody in future has the same isse.

The address needs to be adjusted in one of these two ways.
_change gitea.test to your actual domain_

Option 1:
Conver your adress to use the ssh-format:

git clone ssh://[email protected]:2222/my-user/testr-epo.git

Option 2:
in app.ini leave out the port for the ssh domain setting.
This ensures that you get the "correct" address offered for copy & paste

[server]
SSH_DOMAIN       = gitea.test

Set the according details in your .ssh/config.
Portnumber needs to match your exposed port setting for docker.
In my case it is 2222

Host gitea.test
    Port 2222

Then you can clone via

git clone [email protected]:my-user/test-repo.git
