Can you comment on the issue so that team can look into it. Also if possible would suggest to do it over ec2 or one some instance
We also have digital ocean deplyoment

Yeah, I'm new to this so I tried doing it the easy way, which is from the command prompt, but I'll comment on the topic and try other ways and let you guys know how it goes!

@Guilherme Calixto did you find a workaround? I am having the same error on win 10 too. Enabling long path names in win 10 did not fix it.

Hi @Bob B. I just deleted everything cloned and built by docker (the airbyte folder created) and tried again. After a few tries it randomly worked, I can't really tell you how it worked, but it did haha. It might be their server and a connection problem depending on the time you try to clone/composer-up

Hi @Guilherme Calixto, I deleted the GIT files a few times too, but was not able to clone the files with the very long names. So then I ran these commands in git bash and then I got the airbyte container in docker 🙂 cd airbyte git config core.longpaths true git reset --hard HEAD

@Bob B. Thanks a lot for letting me know that! I will make sure to try that next time. I’m still a beginner with all of this, so it’s been a bit overwhelming, but I’m sure it’ll get easier with time
