I have been following this tutorial to set up a Laravel project on a VPS running Ubuntu 22.04.1. After a lot of troubleshooting previous issues (seems like there's trouble at every step), I am now stuck on installing the project's PHP dependencies through Composer install.
For context, I have created a bare git repo on the VPS, pushed my code from the local repo to the VPS, which then put it in the correct folder (/srv/questifyer). Whenever I push code, I run a script to install any new dependencies with composer install.
But when running composer install, either through pushing code or by running it in the command line directly (in the folder where my composer.json is, I get the following errors for most, if not all my dependencies:
- Downloading symfony/console (v6.0.9)
Failed to download symfony/console from dist: The "https://api.github.com/repos/symfony/console/zipball/9b190bc7a19d19add1dbb3382721973836e59b50" file could not be written to /srv/questifyer/vendor/composer/tmp-55595ff651708c1f557c741cd2431999: Failed to open stream: Permission denied
Now trying to download from source
- Syncing symfony/console (v6.0.9) into cache
The first time I ran it, it made me add a Github OAuth token, which I did. When I check Composer's auth.json, the key is there, correctly. But running composer diagnose gives me the following information:

Specifically the 'Checking github.com oauth access: FAIL' raises questions. Googling hasn't given me any clear answers. What should my next step be? I assume I need to get oauth working correctly, but I'm not sure how. I've tried multiple tokens, including one with all of the permissions. I also tried adding the token to composer.json (which I later removed), but it keeps saying it failed.
