If you don’t use HTTPS and user credentials, SSH should also work out
of the box when you store keys in the default directories (~/.ssh)
and the uri points to an SSH location,
-e.g. "git@github.com:configuration/cloud-configuration". It is important that all
-keys in ~/.ssh/known_hosts are in "ssh-rsa" format. The new "ecdsa-sha2-nistp256" format is NOT supported.
+e.g. "git@github.com:configuration/cloud-configuration". It is important that an entry for the Git server be present in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and that it is in ssh-rsa format. Other formats (like ecdsa-sha2-nistp256) are not supported. To avoid surprises, you should ensure that only one entry is present in the known_hosts file for the Git server and that it is matching with the URL you provided to the config server. If you used a hostname in the URL, you want to have exactly that in the known_hosts file, not the IP.
The repository is accessed using JGit, so any documentation you find on
that should be applicable. HTTPS proxy settings can be set in
~/.git/config or in the same way as for any other JVM process via
