neonctl auth in a VM?
I can't be the first person to install neonctl in a virtual machine. When I run neonctl auth, it tries to spawn the browser and fails.
I can manually enter the URL into my browser, but then it redirects to 127.0.0.1 but there is of course nothing running there.
Additionally, neonctl seems to crash after failing to spawn the browser so there's nothing listening there either, and invoking the target URL in the VM via curl or wget fails.

OK, I resolved this by uninstalling the Linux binary I had downloaded and installing the nodejs version instead. Then
neonctl auth just prompted me to open the URL and stayed running.
Then I could use wget to complete the auth.quickest-silver•4mo ago

If I use
--api-key then I get "ERROR: user has no access to projects" if I specify --project-id <project>
