Set GitHub PAT permanently on AWS-Lightsail #18

Closed Tazinho closed 3 years ago

Tazinho commented 3 years ago

I am using credentials::set_github_pat() on AWS-Lightsail (Ubuntu, personal User) and it works basically fine.

However, when I restart the instance, RStudio asks me again for PW/User.

Also if I run credentials::set_github_pat() after restart, I am getting asked for the PAT again.

Is there a way around this and set the PAT permanently? What could be the issue?

Edit: Also writing credentials::set_github_pat() into .Renviron as recommended in this blogpost https://ropensci.org/blog/2020/07/07/github-pat/ doesn't solve this and instead leads to the following error msg. in RStudioServer after a reboot.

You need to set a credential helper other than cache.

This is a tricky problem (which I have also encountered on RStudio Server), because linux doesn't have an OS-level store like macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager. I think you might need to use the .Renviron solution.

But it sounds like you're mis-implementing that. .Renviron can only contain a NAME=VALUE type of entry for storing your PAT in an env var. Whereas your error message makes it look like you're trying to run R code from .Renviron, which you can't. (That can happen in .Rprofile.)

Thanks to both of you!

Setting credentials::credential_helper_set("store") indeed solved the issue in my case.
