Signing key cannot be empty when trying to connect to github
I keep getting this error:

But my environment variables look fine:
TypeScript
_APP_VCS_GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY=PRIVATE_KEY
_APP_OPENSSL_KEY_V1=OPENSSL_KEY
I read in the documentation that the key needs to be surrounded with quotes, but whenever i put quotes in coolify it just removes them. Any idea?
TL;DR
Issue: Error message "Signing key cannot be empty" when trying to connect to GitHub even though environment variables seem correct.
Solution: Make sure to set the private key in environment variables with quotes, like this:
```
_APP_VCS_GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY="PRIVATE_KEY"
_APP_OPENSSL_KEY_V1="OPENSSL_KEY"
```
Coolify removes quotes, so ensure they are properly set in the environment variables.
