How to deploy a laravel nova app using digitalocean apps

I am trying to deploy a laravel nova application using digitalocean apps. I have added the nova username (email used to register on nova.laravel.com) and the nova password (nova license token) as app level environment variable.

When the build runs I get the following error below

Warning from nova.laravel.com:

Hi there,

I believe that what you could do in order to avoid manually typing these credentials, you may create a Composer auth.json file while using your license key in place of your password:

composer config http-basic.nova.laravel.com your-nova-account-email@your-domain.com your-license-key

That way the installation on the App platform will be able to use the auth.json file to install the package.

Let me know how it goes.

Best,

Bobby
