so I need to add the id\_rsa into the plugin so it can download private repos; I know I can do it using commands but I would rather have the yml file somehow clean

this is what im doing

drone.yml  
- name: test  
image: some/image:latest  
settings:  
sshprivatekey:  
from\_secret: SSH\_PRIVATE\_KEY  
commands:  
- cat /root/.ssh/id\_rsa

in dockerfile

```
ADD test.sh /bin/test.sh
RUN chmod +x /bin/test.sh
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/test.sh"]

```

the test.sh script

```
#!/bin/sh
mkdir /root/.ssh/

echo "${PLUGIN_SSHPRIVATEKEY}" > /root/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 600 /root/.ssh/id_rsa

```

the result: it fails

```
+ cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa
cat: /root/.ssh/id_rsa: No such file or directory

```

any ideas what could be the issue?

thanks in advance

you cannot use `commands` with a plugin. When you use `commands` it overrides the images default entrypoint. In this case, because you override the entrypoint with commands, test.sh never gets executed and the file never gets generated.
