Git clone password problem

[duongnq]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to clone my Anvil app repository using Git, but I’m stuck on the password authentication step.

Git keeps asking me for a password, and I’m not sure what to enter. I logged in to Anvil with my Google account, so I don’t have a separate Git password.

Could someone explain:

1. How to set up Git authentication for Anvil apps?
2. If there’s a way to generate a Git password or token?
3. Any steps needed for using SSH keys with Anvil?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the forum!

You’ll need to set up an SSH key to clone your Anvil app. There are instructions here: Anvil Docs | Set up an SSH key on Linux

Those are for Linux, if you’re on a different OS just Google how to create the SSH key for your OS (that happens in Step 1). The rest of the steps will be the same.

Thank you, Jshaffstall!
I did according to your docs link you sent. It work with Linux

However, it didn’t work with windows. I tried to created new password already. And it work on windows.

After that, I ran on Raspberry (4GB Ram) (run local app). This app still didn’t run. Linux appeared this announcement as below image.

Do you have any experience about this issue?

I don’t, no. You might want to post a new topic for the error running locally on the pi to get attention from the folks who have done that.

This probably does not have anything to do with the SSH key or the Raspberry Pi, its probably a permissions issue that is common with getting the App Server to start, with most defaults for how to start a PostGreSQL database engine.

This link will not have your answer but it describes the same problem on a different system, there is something wrong with your postgres permissions probably:

[App Server] Failed to start built-in Postgres database

I faced a similar issue. Postgre logs below Execution of PostgreSQL by a user with administrative permissions is not permitted. The server must be started under an unprivileged user ID to prevent possible system security compromises. See the documentation for more information on how to properly start the server. What worked for me was run my IDE in ‘non-administrator’ mode. I imagine fix will be the same for when running power shell and command prompt. Hope it helps.

So if you can figure out how to get postgres to run it should unpack the rest of the app server with minimal issues.

Hi ianb,
Thank you for your answer support me. I will trying reinstall postgresql on Raspberry. This is the first time I use Anvil, do not have more experience.
