Update keeps asking for password

Hi there,

So i’m trying to update redash, after logging onto the box with ssh and a key pair, no password.

fab -H localhost -u ubuntu deploy_latest_release

that asks for my password, as does

fab -H localhost -u ubuntu -i ~/.ssh/authorized_keys deploy_latest_release

Now, obviously I have not entered a password when logging in, so regardless, I reset my password using

su passwd ubuntu

then tested with

su ubuntu

password works, except fab won’t accept it. I tried omitting username too, and was asked to do the same with root, again, even after changing / testing root password it does not accept it.

Any ideas what’s wrong?

I know it’s not the best way, but every time I run fabric from localhost I do: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change PermitRootLogin to yes then sudo service ssh restart after updating repeat the steps changing PermitRootLogin to no Oh… and change localhost to the corresponding external IP on fab -H.

I simply ran the steps on my mac, pointing to GCE instance and it worked. But it seems a bit strange that you can’t upgrade it on the same machine.
