Password based git urls no longer supported

[michaelwhelehan]

Summary

Hi I get this when trying to use this repo - is it still supported?

remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. tinc-proxy-app | remote: Please see https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories#cloning-with-https-urls for information on currently recommended modes of authentication.

Steps to reproduce

Provide git username and password in docker compose file

What is the expected correct behavior?

Should clone repo

Hi - Yes I'm still using this successfully on a couple networks with the git functionality. There hasn't been much activity with the upstream tinc development, however not too concerned, it's secure, and been in pre-release for over 10 years now.

You'll want to use a personal access token instead of a password if using github as your git provider which will still allow you to use a username but a unique password that isn't your main github login.
