Node Red Projects and GitHub/Balena

General

I'm trying to connect up my Development Device to my Balena so I can git push to deploy my program.

The issue I'm having is that I can't get the Balena integration to work. Ive created my SSH key and I've added it into my Balena settings. I created my SSH Key here:

I've then got the URL from my balena application and added it as a remote:

When I go to the Commit History and Manage remote branch I get this:

This spinner doesn't go away.

I have tried setting up a GitHub remote, and this works - as long as I don't also try to add a Balena remote at the same time. If I have both it asks for verification over and over.

If I try to push from the Command line I get an error saying “none of the supplied SSH keys matched a known key for user {my_username}”.

Can anyone help?

Edit: I was trying to follow the instructions here but resin io has changed to balena

The way I sorted this was by creating a ssh key through the terminal and then adding it to the ssh-agent and to balena. I'm not sure why the node-red generated ssh keys wouldn't work.

Here is a link to the forum post on the balena forum where I got the help.

Here is a link to the tutorial that guided me through creating the ssh key and adding it to the ssh-agent.

In case the links don't work in the future the commands I used were:

# start the ssh-agent in the background
$ eval $(ssh-agent -s)
> Agent pid 59566


$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

$ sudo apt-get install xclip
# Downloads and installs xclip.

$ xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
# Copies the contents of the id_rsa.pub file to your clipboard

Then just add the SSH key to the preferences on Balena and you're good to go.

Hope this helps anyone that has the same issue.
