I found the root cause. The Jenkins launcher was launched using
SYSTEM. This system user doesn't have a console, and its home folder
is /.
So the public key authentication could not work :(
As always, the logs were pointing in the right direction: /.ssh/id_rsa
type -1 -> notice the missing ~ or /home/myuser :(
Thanks for the help,
