no OAuth providers configured

Error message

no OAuth providers configured

What it means

The remote server requires at least one authentication mechanism: either an OAuth provider (GitHub/Google) registered in the registry or a configured local auth fallback. run() refuses to start when both are absent, because no user could ever authenticate.

Solutions

1. Configure at least one OAuth provider (set client id/secret env vars for GitHub or Google)
2. Enable local auth in auth_config if OAuth is not desired
3. Verify the config file section for auth providers is present and parsed

Example fix

// before
# no providers set
// after
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=iv1.xxxx GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=xxxx ./remote-server
# or set local auth in the auth config

let has_provider = std::env::var("GITHUB_CLIENT_ID").is_ok() || std::env::var("GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID").is_ok();
if !has_provider && auth_config.local().is_none() { return Err("configure at least one OAuth provider or local auth"); }

match RemoteApp::run(...).await { Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("no OAuth providers configured") => eprintln!("Set GITHUB_CLIENT_ID/SECRET or GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/SECRET"), other => other? }

When it happens

Trigger: run() starts the remote app with no OAuth client id/secret set (GitHub and Google both absent) and auth_config has no local() auth configured.

Common situations: Fresh deployment missing GITHUB_CLIENT_ID/GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET env vars; config file with providers commented out; operator assumed local auth was enabled by default.
