Hello,

I have

1. installed NodeRed and Gitea on my local Docker Swarn cluster
2. setup a git key on NodeRed
3. setup the associated public key on Gitea
4. setup a remote repository on NodeRed project with this URL: "ssh://git@_gitHost_:_gitPort_/_gitUser_/_gitRepository_.git"

When I test on the NodeRed container with ssh command, all works fine:

> ssh -i ./_sshKey_ -T -p _gitPort_ git@_gitHost_

But, on NodeRed UI, the connection with remote repository is not possible.  
On browser network tab, an error occurs on "/projects/xxxx/branches/remote" request with the following detail:

> "git@_gitHost_: Permission denied (publickey).\r\nfatal: Could not read from remote repository.\n\nPlease make sure you have the correct access rights\nand the repository exists.\n"

I think the porblem occurs because the git server listen on a custom port.  
Could you confirm this?

Many thanks for your help.

Hello everybody,

I have found a workaround for this behaviour:  
On NodeRed container, I clone the desired Git repository with the "git clone" command on the "/data/projects" folder and then I can sync via ssh protocol on NodeRed UI.

For your information, you can find the complete git command:

> git clone ssh://git@_gitHost_:_girPort_/_gitRepo_.git --config core.sshCommand="ssh -i _sshKey_"
