Support password-less SSH via config

[zhi-shen]

Is there a way this tool can support password-less SSH via config setup? We don't have .ssh/id_rsa.

@zhi-shen: How do you authenticate on the remote nodes, then?

I have password-less setup using linked method from Digital Ocean. I was able to manually connect using orgalorg by using the reference authorized file. But the file

For example:

$ cat ~/.ssh/config
Host myhost
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/305-0014
User zhi

Use password-less SSH

$ ssh -n zhi bash -c 'uptime'
10:26:38 up 18 days, 16:46, 0 users, load average: 0.09, 0.05, 0.05

Using orgalorg with default setup

$ ./orgalorg -o zhi -C uptime
2016-07-26 10:27:49 [FATAL] can't create runner factory
ââ can't read SSH key: '~/.ssh/id_rsa'
ââ can't read SSH key from file
ââ open ~/.ssh/id_rsa: no such file or directory

Using orgalorg with specific key file

$ ./orgalorg -k /usr/local/tmc/.ssh/305-0014 -o zhi -C uptime
zhi 10:19:38 up 18 days, 16:38, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05

Not sure if that answered your question.

Thanks,

@zhi-shen: Yes, I understand. Basically, you expect that orgalorg will parse ~/.ssh/config and use specified key from that config.

Unfortunately, it's not yet implemented (I think, I'll do it soon). So now the only possibility is to specify key by yourself or use use wrapper shell-function to do it for you.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for the feature.

👍 It's essential, otherwise it can be an headache to use orgalorg.

@grumpycatt: I'll implement it in meantime.
