Can't run repo bootstrap with Bitbucket Server

[consal]

Our company has an on-prem Bitbucket deployment. I created an HTTP token in my Bitbucket user profile with the necessary permissions and exported it as GIT_TOKEN

When running the command, I get the error authentication required.

export GIT_REPO="https://bitbucket.company.com/scm/~myuser/argocd-autopilot.git"
argocd-autopilot repo bootstrap --provider bitbucket-server
INFO cloning repo: https://bitbucket.company.com/scm/~myuser/argocd-autopilot.git
FATAL authentication required

Things I tried:

• Adding --provider bitbucket-server or --provider bitbucket
• Adding --git-user myuser
• Using ssh git repo URL
• Adding log-level debug doesn't show the actual command that is used to clone the repo

Without success. Can it work with an on-prem bitbucket?

You need to create a app password not access token.
Go to: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/ and copy USERNAME
then go to: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/ and create a app password

export GIT_TOKEN="THE APP PASSWORD TOKEN"
export GIT_REPO="https://bitbucket.org/YOURUSER/YOUR_REPO.git"
export GIT_USER="USERNAME"

argocd-autopilot repo bootstrap --provider bitbucket

if it's on prem provider should be --provider bitbucket-server probably

Yes bitbucket-server would be the right one to use. https://argocd-autopilot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/commands/argocd-autopilot_repo_bootstrap/#options

@consal were you able to get it working?

Unfortunately the suggested API endpoint account/settings/app-passwords/ doesn't exist in bitbucket-server.
But it works with user HTTP Access Token / PAT. What was missing is export GIT_USER="user"
The Argo-CD Autopilot / Getting Started page forgot to mention it.
