I have gitolite server in Vagrant than run well, suddenly I need to change my host password. Also, I just forgot that already uninstall “openssh-server” yesterday. If you were like me, having this problem which gitolite want we inserting password. Otherwise, we already setup gitolite account with disabled-password, so what kind of password needed ?
First, you should install openssh-server. This is my first mistake! So, let install it by :
1 | sudo apt-get install openssh-server |
Still got error? Then we go to the next steps :
Re-installing gitolite
You should have backup of everythings just in case. Then we’re already to purge gitosis by :
1 2 | sudo apt-get remove –purge gitolite sudo apt-get install gitolite |

Try to REBOOT your server to make everything well changed.
