rsync not finding local directory when sending through SSH on pipeline - ssh

Question

Using bitbucket pipelines to push to our remote from the build process that you get from the pipeline.
This is a snippet of the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file
- pipe: atlassian/ssh-run:0.2.2
variables:
SSH_USER: $PRODUCTION_USER
SERVER: $PRODUCTION_SERVER
COMMAND: '''rsync -zrSlh -e "ssh -p 22007" --stats --max-delete=0 $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/ $PRODUCTION_USER#$PRODUCTION_SERVER:home/$PRODUCTION_USER'''
PORT: '22007'
The connection itself works, and it does run the command correctly once it is remoted onto the server...
INFO: Executing the pipe...
INFO: Using default ssh key
INFO: Executing command on {HOST}
ssh -A -tt -i /root/.ssh/pipelines_id -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 22007 {USER}#{HOST} 'rsync -zrSlh -e "ssh -p 22007" --stats --max-delete=0 /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build/ {USER}#{HOST}:home/{USER}'
bash: rsync -zrSlh -e "ssh -p 22007" --stats --max-delete=0 /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build/ {USER}#{HOST}:home/{USER}: No such file or directory
Connection to {HOST} closed.
I've tried to run the same command locally from the directory on my machine
ssh -A -tt -i /root/.ssh/pipelines_id -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 22007 {USER}#{HOST} 'rsync -zrSlh -e "ssh -p 22007" --stats --max-delete=0 "$PWD" {USER}#{HOST}:/home/{USER}'
but it just duplicates the home directory on the remote.
It looks to me like it's looking for the source directory on the server and not looking at the docker container from bitbucket (or the files on my local machine with pwd).
If I try to run the command without the '' then it fails because it's using port 22 by default. I've also tried offsetting the command into a bash script and using MODE: 'Script' which is an acceptable pattern for the plugin, but I can't use my environment variables in the sh file.

Answer 1

If all you wan't to do is to copy the files from the pipeline to the production server, you should you the rsync-deploy pipe, instead of the ssh-run. Your pipe configuration is gonna look pretty much like the following:
script:
- pipe: atlassian/rsync-deploy:0.3.2
variables:
USER: $PRODUCTION_USER
SERVER: $PRODUCTION_USER
REMOTE_PATH: 'home/$PRODUCTION_USER'
LOCAL_PATH: 'build'
SSH_PORT: '22007'
Make sure to configure your SSH keys in pipelines properly (here is a link to our docs for configuring SSH keys https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/use-ssh-keys-in-bitbucket-pipelines-847452940.html)

Answer 2

I've found another way around this instead of needing a plugin, instead I'm running an rsync as a script step
image: atlassian/default-image:latest
- rsync -rltDvzCh --max-delete=0 --stats --exclude-from=excludes -e 'ssh -e none -p 22007' $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/ $PRODUCTION_USER#$PRODUCTION_SERVER:/home/$PRODUCTION_USER
It seems the -e none is an important addition, as is loading in the atlassian image, as fails to find the rsync function, otherwise. I found this info on this post on Atlassian Community.

Answer 3

This seems to work pretty well for me
image: node:10.15.3
pipelines:
default:
- step:
name: <project-path>
script:
- apt-get update && apt-get install -y rsync
- ssh-keyscan -H $SSH_HOST >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
- cd $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR
- rsync -r -v -e ssh . $SSH_USER#$SSH_HOST:/<project-path>
- ssh $SSH_USER#$SSH_HOST 'cd <project-path> && npm install'
- ssh $SSH_USER#$SSH_HOST 'pm2 restart 0'
Note: Avoid using sudo cmd in pipeline scripts

Answer 4

same issue with atlassian/default-image:3
rsync -azv ./project_path/*
bash: rsync: command not found
Solution:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y rsync
