I have a domain pointng to my DIgitalOcean droplet, the installation completed successfully using the repo cloned from git. But i can’t find the forum on my domain, neither on the IP address. While the server ports 80 and 443 are listening, which confirms that the service is running. [disc]

What is the IP of the server and the domain of the site?

Did you run discourse-setup as described in the standard install?

Domain: forum.jcdesigngroup.xyz IP: 159.65.83.150

yes i used the ./discourse-setup script, answered the questions and it completed successfully. I am able to view the docker container that is running discourse, but not accessible from the browser.

Can you ssh to that server at 159.65.83.150? I confirm that’s the address that your domain resolves to. discourse-setup tests that the domain resolves, so I’m not quite sure what the issue might be. What is the output of docker ps and tail /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log/nginx/access.log

Yes, its resolved because during the discourse-setup it displayed “connection to forum.jcdesigngroup.xyz scceeded”. Output of docker ps: [image] Output of tail command on the specified directory shows that “No such directory”.

[image] khikhan: forum.jcdesigngroup.xyz It’s up now. It looks like it took an insanely long time for the server to start up. I looked a couple hours ago and it was a 502 error, suggesting that nginx was working but that Rails hadn’t fully booted up yet. I’m wondering if 1GB isn’t a very good idea anymore.

No, actually the reason was that the domain name jcdesigngroup.xyz was not running a website and i was using the subdomain, when discourse tried to get SSL certificates for it, it was getting an error that the domain jcdesigngroup.xyz has no valid CAA, i configured the nameservers for it also. And after rebuilding the app, i got it running. I am having an issue with the SMTP server, but i hope it will get resolved soon.

Discourse installation successful, but still nothing on the domain and IP of the server

No issue with low-specs (1 GB Ram) oracle free servers though. Between nginx starting up and the forum being actually running, you just have to wait a few seconds.
