w00t

What’s your challenge?

so I’m having a lot less trouble than I was

the helm chart is… rusty

Haha yes

We are using teleport with our customers now

oh really!

But we maybe able to address/fix problems in bastion

I’d looked at that, but bastion seems so much simpler

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) has joined the channel

Yes teleport is much more complicated, but also more feature rich

Bastion is quite simple by comparison

How far did you get and what’s the current problem?

sec - got pulled into a call

No worries! Just post back here when you are free. I will also be jumping on a call shortly.

ok so… the initial problem was I was constantly getting Connection closed by authenticating user hairyhenderson 127.0.0.1 port 49698 [preauth] errors, and I couldn’t see github-authorized-keys being called, but it turns out the commented-out env vars in the values.yaml aren’t all the default values - specifically SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEYS_COMMAND: "/usr/bin/github-authorized-keys" is super-important to uncomment

I’ll probably issue a PR with a bunch of updates once I’m through the learning curve

Certainly - we’ll get that approved quickly

ping me here, if you’re blocked

the helm chart was a bit complicated as I recall due to the need for initializing a shared volume in /etc/ and running github-authorized-keys as a sidecar

Hey guys!! Awesome work with the bastion container, but I have one issue, when building the image myself it won’t run, I get

Initializing ssh-audit
- Enabling SSH Audit Logs
Password: chsh: PAM: Authentication token manipulation error
FATAL: Failed to initializeInitializing ssh-audit
- Enabling SSH Audit Logs
Password: chsh: PAM: Authentication token manipulation error
FATAL: Failed to initialize

Using the image from docker hub works fine though, any idea what could be wrong?

Hrmmm… not sure off the top of my head

Seems to be passwd related which is why the chsh error is emitted

Where are you running the container?

aws, but I tried locally on my ubuntu machine as well, same error

How are you invoking it?

When you use our version, how are you referencing the image? With a release tag or latest?

bastion is the one I built, cloudposse/bastion works fine though

Can you confirm it still works if you pin to the latest release?

what do you mean? that is the latest?!

My concern is “latest” might be stale or something… maybe Travis didn’t tag latest

ah ok, so cloudposse/bastion:0.4.4-228 ?

Though I think without the -228

It’s been a while since I looked at Travis for that project

0.4.4 from docker hub works fine as well

Ok very odd indeed

I am afk, but will test when I get to the office

could it be something gets a later version when I run the docker build today, 0.4.4 was built like a month ago

thanks, no rush!

Possibly - we try to pin most things down to a version

But not down to the package level
