Hi,

I’ve uploaded my public SSH key to the nest (RSA) but pushing asks for a password. Using the SSH passphrase is not recognized for the first. Using the Nest password for the second does not work either.

❯ pijul push [apraga@ssh.pijul.com](mailto:apraga@ssh.pijul.com):apraga/org

✔ Password for [apraga@ssh.pijul.com](mailto:apraga@ssh.pijul.com) · \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Is it another SSH key that should be uploaded ?  
The issue is reproducible for pijul installed with nix or cargo.

Thanks,

I have already seen this problem. You will have to wait for a hotfix. The system is unstable for now.

Edit: I’ve recreated the identity as it seems default parameters are not set (during identity creation). I’ve also forced key encryption to have a password to type (assuming the password asked is not the SSH password !).

Now there is a long delay after entering the password but the error is still there.

Also, I have the same issue with a repo on a private SSH (if that helps).

Update : re-creating the key without encryption does not ask for a password (after restarting ssh-agent) but it fails after a long delay

Pushing to [ssh.pijul.org](http://ssh.pijul.org) or [nest.pijul.org](http://nest.pijul.org) gives the same error.

This error still isn’t solved.

hi all,

After some experiments i’ve got working pijul.  
Now i can clone and push over ssh to nest as a hotfix.

If this is still relevant, let me know, and I will explain what I have done.

Yes, I suppose it’s very relevant.

The server-side has moved forward, while pijul remains stagnant.  
This can be easily fixed with a dirty hack at your own risk.

```auto
cd pijul
pijul remote
  I5GEGWCQIJKTINCFGJEEIVZXKU: https://nest.pijul.com/pijul/pijul
pijul reset --force
cargo update
cd pijul-remote
vi Cargo.toml
# change thrussh = "0.34" to "0.35.6"
cargo update
cd ..
cargo build --release
cd
pijul clone tankf33der@nest.pijul.com:tankf33der/picolisp
# cloned
cd picolisp
# change something
pijul rec -am"."
pijul push -a
# pushed

```

Please try and report.

p.s. I would like to point out that pushing via HTTPS was also possible before, but it is broken as well.

Thanks, it works. I opened discussion about it [pijul/pijul - Discussion #963 - Thrussh should be updated to fix push command for nest](https://nest.pijul.com/pijul/pijul/discussions/963)
