Find the Duckietown token

Modified 2021-03-22 by tanij

The Duckietown Token allows to authenticate your devices to the Duckietown network.

The token is a string of letters and numbers that looks something like this:

dt1-7vEuJsaxeXXXXX-43dzqWFnWd8KBa1yev1g3UKnzVxZkkTbfSJnxzuJjWaANeMf4y6XSXBWTpJ7vWXXXX

To find your token, first login to duckietown.org, then open the page:

https://www.duckietown.org/site/your-token

It may take up to 5 minutes after first creating your account for a token to be generated.

Tell the Duckietown Shell your token

Modified 2022-09-03 by liampaull

Use the command

laptop $ dts tok set

and follow the prompt.

Verify your token was successfully set by running the shell command,

laptop $ dts tok status

You should see a message like the following,

dts :  Correctly identified as uid = ***

Also make sure to tell the “challenges API” (needed if you are going to make submissions to the challenge server) about your docker config:

> dts challenges config --docker-username yourusername --docker-password yourpassword

Verify everything is correct

Before we go on, this is a checkpoint to make sure you have installed everything.

If some of these commands don’t work, please go back and fix it before continuing.

If the Docker installation went well, then you can run the following command:

laptop $ docker run hello-world
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

If you set up a Github account and private key, you should be able to run this command successfully:

laptop $ ssh -T git@github.com
Hi GITHUB_USERNAME! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

If you have a valid DockerHub account then you can login as follows.

laptop $ docker login -u DOCKER_USERNAME
Password:

If the Duckietown Shell was installed, then you can run a command like this:

laptop $ dts version

If you correctly configured the token, then this command should work:

laptop $ dts challenges info
~        You are successfully authenticated:
~
~                     ID: YOUR ID
~                   name: YOUR NAME
~                  login: YOUR DUCKIETOWN ACCOUNT 
~
~         You can find the list of your submissions at the page:
~
~              https://challenges.duckietown.org/v4/humans/users/YOUR ID

If there is something not working, please stop here. Ask for help on Stack Overflow.
