yaml Plugin: Format of Inline Data

[michaelheider]

The yaml plugin allows us to use inline data instead of files.

What format should the values in authorized_keys_data and private_key_data have? Could you please give some more specific information than "base64 inline data"? I cannot get sshpiper to accept the values. It just seems to ignore what I pass it. Using the file based parameters works fine. Could you maybe give a concrete example?

simple base64 -w0 yourfile

did you get any error?

I hope you don't mind me interjecting here, but I've been struggling with a similar issue, which is setting the known_hosts_data field in the yaml routing file.

Honestly I don't even know what the contents of that property should look like. Could you point me in the right direction? I've tried copying some stuff from the ~/.ssh/known_hosts but that would not work. I don't know which parrt.
When I use ssh-keyscan remotehost I get three keys and don't know which to use, or if I need to preceed the data with the hostname and keytype.

example

 ssh-keyscan -p 2222 host-publickey  | base64 -w0

you can also take a look at https://github.com/tg123/sshpiper/blob/master/e2e/yaml_test.go to check how e2e test create config

let me know if your config not work

[mensink]

Oh that worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
Had I checked out yaml_test.go, I indeed would have probably figured it out. I'm not new to software development, but still new to the Go language, so I had some trouble figuring things out from the yaml plugin itself. Thankfully, I stumbled onto this issue here.

[michaelheider]

Thank you very much.

Awesome piece of software by the way!
