Hi @Dereshp and welcome to the forums!
I’m not sure if you were following a guide or anything like that but you have perhaps missed a step. Executing git push without any other options will try to push back to the Screenly app where you downloaded it from. Of course, this will give permission denied errors as the application is not open for the public to push code.
I’d recommend firstly taking a look at our recently refreshed deployment documentation to understand how the process works. If you’re completely new and have not set up your SSH key yet, I’d recommend using the balena push flow which requires installation of the balena CLI tools. If you’re happy using the git workflow though by all means continue with that, you just need to take a look at the section on how to add the remote which will allow you to git push to your device rather than back to the Screenly project.
Secondly, I’m aware that the official Screenly repo as it stands is not currently working with balenaCloud. The developers are in the process of updating it but until then I have made an unofficial fork which, at the time of writing, does work: https://github.com/chrisys/screenly-ose
I hope this helps, and don’t hesitate to post more questions if you get stuck again!

@Dereshp did you for sure manage to pull down the latest version of the repo that I linked in my thread above? The error you’re getting now would be what I would expect if you were still using the official one. Your Dockerfile.template should have the line RUN sed -i '/jessie-updates/{s/^/#/}' /etc/apt/sources.list on line 2 - could you check that’s there?
Hi Chris
Thanks - I have been successful,
Do you perhaps know of a monitor application that would allow to view what is actually active on the remote device
Thanks
Deresh
Hey @Dereshp, what kind of things do you want to monitor on the device?Do you mean you would like to know what is actively being displayed on the screen for a specific device?
Hi thanks for response,
Indeed, I would liked to see what is actively being displayed on the removed screen,
Please advise
Thanks
Deresh
Hmm, I don’t know a ready made way to do that, perhaps @chrisys knows of anything? One way would be to setup a VNC viewer like https://www.balena.io/blog/running-a-gui-application-with-balenacloud/ and then you would see what is being displayed on the screen.
Thanks Shaun
Appreciated - I will try this
Yeah that’s the way I would go too, although I haven’t tried it myself.
