Rails deployment to staging using capistrano generates the following error


I get the following when I try to deploy to server using capistrano gem from my local machine(MAC) {Rails app}. I am new to rails

Solution

  • There are two possible solutions

    1. Copy your private key to your deployment machine As you can push to Github (this is what I understand) you have a private key on your development machine and the corresponding public key on Github. You can copy your private key onto your deployment machine to get rid of the error

      develeopment-machine$ scp ~/.ssh/id-rsa.pub deployment-machine:key

    Then ssh to your deployment machine and do

    deployment-machine$ mv ~/.ssh/id-rsa.pub ~/.ssh/id-rsa.old
    deployment-machine$ mv ~/key ~/.ssh/id-rsa.pub
    
    1. Create a key on your deployment machine and add public key to Github There is a easy to follow explanation how to do that at Github Help

    Hope this helps.
