Hi, I’m attempting to install Discourse, but am failing so far. It appears that bootstrapping doesn’t want to… bootstrap? Anyhow, I read a couple of other threads about it and tried “./launcher rebuild app”, which gave the following output: WARNING: No memory limit support WARNING: No swap limit support Updating discourse docker Already up-to-date.

Hi. I have the same issue. Tried to run “./launcher start app” command from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-digital-ocean.md instructions on Amazon EC2 linux ami last version. Everything was fine but during running the command the connection was lost and after reconnecting I getting the same error when trying to run that command again.

Installation is at /var/discourse, as per the official installation notes. Using Debian

Rebooting the whole system seems to have worked. It now passes the initial breaking point, and I’m awaiting full rebuild now. Thanks :slight_smile:

reboot as in type “reboot” in the cli? cause that didn’t work for me. Im on docker

I meant the whole server. Not just docker, not just cli, everything. All of it.

Done. Same results. I was doing the same thing before anyways.
