FAQ

Do I need to configure both password and privateKey?

No, if you configure the address path of the key, then you don't need a username and password, otherwise you need a username and password

Is there any limitation of local development environment and server development environment?

Currently only in the local is window environment, the server is linux environment tested, other environments have not been tested, if there are problems, you can raise issues
