envbuilder clone a private git repository?

- I've added my Coder SSH public key to github.
- I'm using a template based on the aws-devcontainer template.
- I set repo_url to git@github.com:foo/bar

Envbuilder fails to authenticate:

After the fall back image starts, I can

git clone

git clone

git clone

git clone and the agent ssh successfully authenticates.

I'm guessing envbuilder is trying to clone the repo before the agent is pulled by the ENVBUILDER_INIT_SCRIPT. I think the logs corroborate that.

Is there a way to get the clone to work the first startup?

Solution

Just to follow up on this for anyone else searching here for a solution, you can set the following in your Terraform locals:

envbuilder_env = {
    "ENVBUILDER_GIT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64": base64encode(data.coder_workspace_owner.me.ssh_private_key),

envbuilder_env = {
    "ENVBUILDER_GIT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64": base64encode(data.coder_workspace_owner.me.ssh_private_key),

envbuilder_env = {
    "ENVBUILDER_GIT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64": base64encode(data.coder_workspace_owner.me.ssh_private_key),

envbuilder_env = {
    "ENVBUILDER_GIT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64": base64encode(data.coder_workspace_owner.me.ssh_private_key),
