[Gitea] RewriteAllPublicKeys failed: open /data/.ssh/authorized_keys.tmp: permission denied
Gitea has recently released version 1.20.0
, and I endeavored to upgrade my locally-hosted instance from version 1.17.0
to 1.20.0
. During this process, I encountered the following error when attempting to execute the docker-compose file:
routers/init.go:60:mustInit() [F] code.gitea.io/gitea/models/asymkey.RewriteAllPublicKeys failed: open /data/git/.ssh/authorized_keys.tmp: permission denied
Received signal 15; terminating.
This issue is not exclusive to the new version, as some users have reported similar problems when upgrading from older versions, such as 1.17.3
to 1.18.0
.
To resolve this error, it is necessary to modify the ownership of the folder /data/git/.ssh
to the Gitea user. It is important to note that the path may vary depending on the specific instance.
Take the below compose file as an example.
1version: "3"

13 - USER_GID=1000
14 - GITEA__LOG__ROOT_PATH=/data/log
15 - GITEA__LOG__MODE=file
16 - GITEA__LOG__LEVEL=Debug
17 restart: always
18 networks:

20 volumes:
21 - ./gitea:/data
22 - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
23 - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
24 - ./.ssh:/data/git/.ssh
25 ports:
26 - "80:80"
27 - "222:22"
Line 24: ./.ssh
represents the folder that requires ownership modification. By executing ls -lha
on the same path, it is highly probable that the current ownership is root
, which is the cause of the error.
Line 21: running ls -lha
will display the ownership of the files and folders under ./gitea
, which will reveal the target ownership that needs to be assigned to ./.ssh
. Assuming the ownership is gitea
, execute the command below:
sudo chown -R gitea:gitea ./.ssh
