"Signing key cannot be empty" with GitHub Integration on 1.4.2

does docker compose exec appwrite vars show the correct value?

you should use single line

also, here's a script to test the env var:

#!/bin/sh

CODE='
if (openssl_pkey_get_private(getenv("_APP_VCS_GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY")) === false) {
    echo "Invalid Private Key\n";
    exit(1);
} else {
    echo "Valid Private Key\n";
    exit(0);
}'

docker compose exec appwrite php -r "$CODE"

After you update the env var, run docker compose up -d to apply the env var change and then run the script to test if it's a valid value

updated the code to use \n again.
did docker compose down && docker compose up -d

and ran the script:
with key that was generated using ssh-keyggen:
Invalid Private Key

using ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

Invalid Private Key

same...

• its also in appwrite main container but image wont help to prove it as var list is to long 🙂

i think i found the issue!!!

it a STUPID USER issue!! (me)

yep... its me

Valid Private Key

I hope this isn't your actual docker hub password 💀

long story (very) short:

the key needs to be generated from the app itself and not self generated...
*thnx for the help
** il go sit myself in the corner for 10m...

tnx,
it is (but not any more 🙂

works like a charm 🙂

@Steven a suggestion:
its not an option to generate the key in the github app its a must.
you could add to the documentation:

1. its a must and not an option
2. the format should be single line string with \n for multi line seperater.

yep.
i would point to a document/image

• state its a mandatory to take it from GITHUB

What if the first sentence says RSA private key from GitHub?

sound legit.
but i would Bold the GitHub

and not "you can"
but "you must"

as for github integration, should it automaticly deploy commits to the main branch ?
i pushed few commits and nothing happened/... 😦

and i dont see errorrs anywhere 😦

Yes, if you configured the webhook parts correctly

Please create a new post for help with webhooks

I ran into the same problem with the key not being the correct RSA PRIVATE KEY format, even though I'd created and downloaded it from GitHub. My issue was because I stored it in 1Password after download, and exported the private key from there, which mucked it up. Copying straight from the .pem file resolved it: https://discordapp.com/channels/564160730845151244/1147708406849876079/1150266669990682634
