Syntax error when adding SSH key in GitLab CI


Reference: https://gitlab.ida.liu.se/help/ci/ssh_keys/README.md

The following script has problems. Even though I changed the last symbol from ` to ' , the question is how to fix the error as shown below:

$ ssh-add <(echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY") /bin/sh: eval: line 24: syntax error: unexpected "("

before_script:
  # Install ssh-agent if not already installed, it is required by Docker.
  # (change apt-get to yum if you use a CentOS-based image)
  - 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )'

  # Run ssh-agent (inside the build environment)
  - eval $(ssh-agent -s)

  # Add the SSH key stored in SSH_PRIVATE_KEY variable to the agent store
  - ssh-add <(echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY")

  # For Docker builds disable host key checking. Be aware that by adding that
  # you are suspectible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
  # WARNING: Use this only with the Docker executor, if you use it with shell
  # you will overwrite your user's SSH config.
  - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
  - '[[ -f /.dockerinit ]] && echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config`

Solution

  • I have tried many times, the following .gitlab-ci.yml should work properly.

        image: gitlab/dind:latest
    
    variables:
      COMPOSE: docker-compose
    
    before_script:
      # Install ssh-agent if not already installed, it is required by Docker.
      # (change apt-get to yum if you use a CentOS-based image)
      - 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )'
    
      # Run ssh-agent (inside the build environment)
      - eval $(ssh-agent -s)
    
      # Add the SSH key stored in SSH_PRIVATE_KEY variable to the agent store
      - ssh-add <(echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY")
    
      # For Docker builds disable host key checking. Be aware that by adding that
      # you are suspectible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
      # WARNING: Use this only with the Docker executor, if you use it with shell
      # you will overwrite your user's SSH config.
      - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
    
      - ssh-keyscan -H 'gitlab.com' >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
      - ssh-keyscan gitlab.com | sort -u - ~/.ssh/known_hosts -o ~/.ssh/known_hosts
    
      - '[[ -f /.dockerinit ]] && echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config'
    
    stages:
      - build
      - test
      - deploy
    
    # Add a job called 'build' -> to run your builds
    # TODO: Build the image in remote docker registry 
    build-dev:
      stage: build 
      script:
        - sh scripts/install-dev.sh
        - $COMPOSE build
      only:
        - dev 
    
    build-master:
      stage: build 
      script:
        - sh scripts/install.sh
        - $COMPOSE build
      only:
        - master
