What I'm trying to do and why

Unable to start a remote borgbase backup with borgmatic create

Steps to reproduce (if a bug)

Created and initialized a repo on borgbase, added a public key through the web interface. Installed and edited a borgmatic config file according to my own configuration. I proceeded to try creating a backup through the borgmatic create command. This results in a repeated prompt for my repo password. I enter what I am certain is my repo password but receive another identical prompt for my password. No success despite repeated attempts so I exit the prompt with the ctrl + c command. I do not have my ssh key pair locally encrypted so I dont think it is requesting the password for that but rather the password for my repo. Results of sudo borgmatic create pasted below. I've tried deleting and creating new repos through the borgbase web interface and then initializing through the shell and noticed that I am not always prompted to choose a password to encrypt my backup with (not sure if that helps). Much appreciated.

Thank you for filing this! The password prompt you're seeing is actually coming directly from ssh for connecting to the remote host. Borg's repository passphrase prompt instead looks like: Enter passphrase for key test.borg:

So what I would suggest is to double check that you're configured Borgbase with your ssh public keys. Once that's set up properly, I believe that you would no longer be prompted for a password to connect to Borgbase. Here are the Borgbase docs on that: https://docs.borgbase.com/faq/ssh/ ... Although given that you already presumably have local SSH keys generated, the one step that remains is to confirm that they're set up in Borgbase's Account > SSH Keys UI.

Please let me know if that helps!

Thank you so much. deleted the key pairs,the repository and started all over, borgmatic works flawlessly now. However I'm having problems automating with both crontabs and systemd timers. Judging from the preexisting/solved issues its either a problem with my $PATH or flawed permissions somewhere. Guess I'll start a new issue solely for that. Thanks again. Really appreciate the work that you do.
