Hi there,

“it doesn’t work” is always hard to remote debug. Try to always include these 3 things.

  1. what did you try? (Code samples, command lines, screenshots, videos, etc)
  2. what did happen? (Error messages, description, outputs, stuff)
  3. what did you expect to happen?

Otherwise, it’s hard for us to get into your context and you’ll have to have someone who is exactly knowledgeable come along.

Hello Halkeye,

I deployed 3 VMs using VMware fusion.

  • Jenkins VM
  • Ansible VM
  • Webserver VM

I made sure all 3 are interconnected with ssh-keygen.

I have set up a GitHub account and created a repository and created an index.html file. This repository webhook is setup and connected with Jenkins.

I have confiured Junekins credentials and connected it with Gthub.

I have configured ‘Publish over ssh’ plugin on my Jenkins account.

I have configured my Jenkins with rsync command and added both my jenkins and asnsible machine details.

When i run the build or add something new to git i expect it to complete the job with no error, but i am getting this error!

I am also fetching this error…

googling for “ssh error code 23” gives me that its something rsync returns

Probably something about permissions?

Does any of that sound relevant?
