Capistrano asks for password when deploying, despite SSH keys

Question

My ssh keys are definitely set up correctly, as I\'m never prompted for the password when using ssh. But capistrano still asks for a password when deploying with cap d

Answer 1

I've had the same problem.

This line did'nt work:

set :ssh_options, {:forward_agent => true}

Then I executed mentioned on Dreamhost wiki

[local ~]$ eval `ssh-agent`
[local ~]$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/yourpublickey  # omit path if using default keyname

And now I can deploy without password.
