IMPORTANT: Create .env File

Before deploying to Gitea package registry, you need to manually create a .env file in the project root.

Quick Setup

1. Create a new file named .env in the project root directory
2. Add your Gitea personal access token:

PUBLISH_TOKEN=your_actual_token_here

How to Get Your Token

1. Go to https://brokkr.robotico.dev/
2. Log in to your account
3. Navigate to: User Settings → Applications
4. Click "Generate New Token"
5. Give it a name (e.g., "dalex-proto-deploy")
6. Select permissions: write:package
7. Click "Generate Token"
8. Copy the token and paste it in your .env file

Important Notes

• ⚠️ Never commit the .env file to version control!
• ✅ The .env file is already in .gitignore
• 📝 A template is provided in .env.example
• 🔒 Keep your token secure and private

Testing Your Setup

After creating the .env file and installing Python dependencies, you can deploy with:

# Install dependencies first (one time only)
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run deployment
python deploy.py

Or if Python 3 is not your default:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 deploy.py

The script will automatically load the token from your .env file.
