Description

  • docs/how-to/linux-service.md:48-73 — Step 3 rewritten to run login/config as your own user, explains why the service user can't, and adds the headless case
  • Step 6 now says to copy the values from ~/.codecarbon.config
  • . codecarbon/cli/auth.py:172 — always prints the authorization URL, so a failed webbrowser.open (which returns True even when xdg-open bails, as it did for you) is no longer a dead end.
  • codecarbon/cli/auth.py:88-98 — _save_credentials turns the raw Errno 13 into a message naming the resolved path and telling you to run from a writable directory.

Motivation and Context

docs/how-to/linux-service.md:48-73 — Step 3 rewritten to run login/config as your own user, explains why the service user can't, and adds the headless case (ssh -L 8090:localhost:8090, since the callback must reach localhost:8090 on the machine running the CLI). Step 6 now says to copy the values from ~/.codecarbon.config.
codecarbon/cli/auth.py:172 — always prints the authorization URL, so a failed webbrowser.open (which returns True even when xdg-open bails, as it did for you) is no longer a dead end.
