Error message

GitHub Discussions RSS is disabled due to the lack of <a href="https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/config#route-specific-configurations">relevant config</a>

What it means

Thrown as a ConfigNotFoundError by the GitHub Discussions route when config.github.access_token is not set. RSSHub uses this to distinguish 'configuration missing' from runtime errors, surfacing a specific HTTP status and HTML link to the config docs. The route requires GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN because the GitHub GraphQL API needs authentication for discussions (a preview feature).

Solutions

1. Set GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN in your RSSHub environment (env var or .env file) with a valid GitHub personal access token
2. If using Docker, pass it as -e GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=ghp_xxxx
3. Verify the token works by testing it against the GitHub GraphQL API directly
4. Restart RSSHub after setting the env var so config is re-read

Example fix

// No code change needed — this is a configuration error.
// Fix by setting the environment variable:
// .env or environment:
//   GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=ghp_your_personal_access_token
// Then restart RSSHub.

// Check config before making the request
import { config } from '@/config';
if (!config.github?.access_token) {
    // Display setup instructions instead of proceeding
    throw new ConfigNotFoundError('Set GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable');
}

function hasGitHubToken(cfg: typeof config): cfg is typeof config & { github: { access_token: string } } {
    return !!cfg.github?.access_token;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Any request to /github/discussion/:user/:repo when the GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable is not configured. The check is 'if (!config.github || !config.github.access_token)' — both the config section and the token must be present.

Common situations: Fresh RSSHub deployment without setting GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN; the env var is set but under a different name; the token expired or was revoked; deploying via Docker without passing the env var.
