SSH to Private IP

[tlongren]

Hi!

I just installed Xubuntu 15.04 on my laptop, a new version of tugboat than is on my main workstation.

When I do

tugboat ssh dropletname

It attempts to connect to the private (internal) IP address. I have done little research into it, but wanted to make a note here quick. It perhaps isn't related to tugboat and something with the droplets.

Not using tugboat, I can SSH to the external IP just fine.

Thoughts?

Thanks for tugboat, btw, it's an awesome tool.

Hi, I can also confirm I have same issue, with tugboat 1.0

[tlongren]

Definitely a somewhat recent issue. I have tugboat 0.2.8 installed on my main workstation and it connects to the external IP address of the specified droplet, as expected.

ah so this is what my problem is - it just hangs on connecting when I do a tugboat ssh ... so its trying to connect to the wrong IP ?

@tlongren So we allowed people to set if they wanted to connect to the private or public IP in 7b307b1, looks like that might've gone wrong.

Can you try adding the following into your ~/.tugboat file:

use_public_ip: 'true'

And see if that fixes it?

Can you also show the contents of your ~/.tugboat file (with the API keys redacted)

[PhilETaylor]

I'm using Tugboat 1.0.0 installed with gem

my .tugboat file content:

---
authentication:
  client_key: redacted
  api_key: redacted
ssh:
  ssh_user: root
  ssh_key_path: "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
  ssh_port: '5819'
defaults:
  region: '1'
  image: '350076'
  size: '66'
  ssh_key: id_rsa
  private_networking: 'false'
  backups_enabled: '1'
  use_public_ip: 'true'

When running command tugboat ssh 100 I get:

Phils-iMac:~ phil$ tugboat ssh 100
Droplet fuzzy name provided. Finding droplet ID...done, 2266854 (lon100.myjoomla.com)
Executing SSH (lon100.myjoomla.com)...
ssh: connect to host 10.131.248.10 port 5819: Operation timed out

Note that 10.131.248.10 is the private IP address of the droplet with 178.62.62.30 as a public IP address.

[PhilETaylor]

Note that a command with option -e works and allows ssh to public IP address

This command works for me.
tugboat ssh 100 -e

[tlongren]

@petems, same deal here as @PhilETaylor.

tugboat ssh droplet -e

works like @PhilETaylor suggested.

[petems]

Weird, that should be the default. I'll see if I can fix up the logic.

Fixed and released in 1.1.0

I didn't catch it because in my acceptance tests, because I don't have any servers with private IPs. Will update.
