How to create API key?

[nichu42]

OK, let's try this

I have installed LT. The web frontend works out of the box.
Now I'd like to create an API key in order to use LT on my Mastodon instance.

It seems this is done through the command line interface with

ltmanage keys add

However, ltmanage is nowhere to be found.
Does anyone know how to complete this task?

I came here to ask exactly this!

@jdaviescoates @nichu42 I had to remove proxy auth to make API keys work well. So, please reinstall the app.

After that, follow https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/libretranslate/#create-key

That worked well, thanks @girish!

The only issue I'm having that LT seems to be quite slow in sending a response (also checked with curl).
Mastodon returns a 503 Remote data could not be fetched on some toots. Others work.

Hello @girish

When I run the command su - cloudron -c 'ltmanage keys --api-keys-db-path /app/data/db/api_keys.db add 120' in the web terminal of LibreTranslate I get the error -bash: line 1: ltmanage: command not found. Same when doing su - cloudron alone first. A ltmanage keys alone encounters write permission errors.

Ah thanks for the hint, the latest package uses virtual env now, so we had to update the docs to initialize the python venv with source /app/code/.venv/bin/activate.

The docs are now fixed https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/libretranslate/
