Hi, I want to connect my GitHub application with my self-hosted Appwrite instance. After redirecting from Github OAuth installation page to the callback URL, I receive a JSON with an following error.
{"message":"Server Error","code":500,"type":"general_unknown","version":"1.4.13"}

In the Docker logs, the following error appears:

After some research, I filled in the environment variable `_APP_OPENSSL_KEY_V1` with a randomly generated string, but the issue still persists.
Maybe `_APP_OPENSSL_KEY_V1` should be in the exact format but I don't find any information in documentation about this.

Summary

Message: Developers facing error "Signing key cannot be empty" connecting GitHub app with self-hosted Appwrite instance. JSON error code 500, Docker logs show JWTException. Solution: Fill `_APP_OPENSSL_KEY_V1` with correct format, documentation lacks details.
