Redash: Update keeps asking for password

[npateman]

Hi there,

So i'm trying to update redash, after logging onto the box with ssh and a key pair, no password.

fab -H localhost -u ubuntu deploy_latest_release

that asks for my password, as does

fab -H localhost -u ubuntu -i ~/.ssh/authorized_keys deploy_latest_release

Now, obviously I have not entered a password when logging in, so regardless, I reset my password using

su passwd ubuntu

then tested with

su ubuntu

password works, except fab won't accept it. I tried omitting username too, and was asked to do the same with root, again, even after changing / testing root password it does not accept it.

Any ideas what's wrong?

The current Fabric script was designed to run on a different host than the Re:dash host, and connect to it. What happens in your case, is that it tries to SSH back into the same machine and hence asking for password.

@npateman did you get it working?

I know it's not the best way, but every time I run fabric from localhost I do:
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change PermitRootLogin to yes
then
sudo service ssh restart
after updating repeat the steps changing PermitRootLogin to no
Oh... and change localhost to the corresponding external IP on fab -H.

sorry for the late reply, lots of things happened and I had to have a new server setup, long story...

I simply ran the steps on my mac, pointing to GCE instance and it worked. But it seems a bit strange that you can't upgrade it on the same machine.
