ssh-agent on bash

Author: francescayeyeCreated Feb 20, 2025Updated Mar 20, 2025

Expected behaviour

when ssh agent is used, one of the keys added to the ssh agent is used

Current behaviour

when ssh agent is used, ~/.ssh/id_rsa is used instead of one the keys added to the agent

To Reproduce

eval (ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add /Users/andrea/.ssh/key_other_than_id_rsa
k3sup install --host=192.168.0.5 --user=andrea
Running: k3sup install
2025/02/20 21:26:31 192.168.0.5
Public IP: 192.168.0.5
Error: unable to load the ssh key with path "/Users/andrea/.ssh/id_rsa": unable to read file: /Users/andrea/.ssh/id_rsa, open /Users/andrea/.ssh/id_rsa: no such file or directory

Additional context

looking at the repo on how the ssh-agent setup works, this should be supported and working on bash, what do I miss? :)
