Github Bad Credentials: No description

Got a new server and wanted to install a fresh instance of appwrite 1.6.1. Setting up Github for functions and I am getting Bad Credentials: No description

Running this: docker-compose logs -f appwrite I am seeing this in the logs: appwrite | [Error] Timestamp: 2025-03-23T21:01:13+00:00 appwrite | [Error] Method: POST appwrite | [Error] URL: /v1/vcs/github/installations/:installationId/providerRepositories appwrite | [Error] Type: Appwrite\Auth\OAuth2\Exception appwrite | [Error] Message: Bad credentials: No description appwrite | [Error] File: /usr/src/code/src/Appwrite/Auth/OAuth2.php appwrite | [Error] Line: 212

I have tripled checked the settings, not sure why this is coming up.

TL;DR

Developers are facing "Bad Credentials: No description" issue when setting up Github for functions in a new server with appwrite 1.6.1. Despite creating a new private key correctly, the problem persists. The logs show the error as "Bad credentials: No description." The potential solution is to check if the GitHub token or key being used is expired.

The GitHub token or key you're using may be expired?

I created a new private key and still the same issue. Made sure it is single line with double quotes. "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMII[...]3Ie2\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
