I’ve been trying to get Discourse properly installed for the last few days. Finally caving in on figuring it out on my own (with the help of google). Started off with ServerMania. Server host kernel was 2.6x, would not install no matter what. I was told by tech support it would be impossible to load…

Thanks for the speedy reply. To be clear, I’m all for an easy setup, and have gone through that guide numerous times, but I’m not on DO, and the issues are more than is covered in this guide. It would be nice if things went smoothly, but the problem seems to be mostly surrounding the OVH specific ke…

[imagem] pl3bs: I’ve gone through the official DO guide Did you try it with a DO VPS? If not, I think it’s $5 well spent to just fire one up and get an install working there…

What would be the point of that? I have no doubt it would work with a DO install. That doesn’t get me where I need to be. $5, and time wasted.

Try searching for OVH here too, in that case. Looks like there are a few threads on this forum with some OVH references: https://meta.discourse.org/t/bootstrapping-errors-on-docker-install-with-ovh/19000

fresh install apt-get update wget -qO- https://get.docker.io/ | sh root@vps34714:~# docker info Containers: 0 Images: 0 Storage Driver: devicemapper Pool Name: docker-8:1-656152-pool Pool Blocksize: 65.54 kB Data file: /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/data Metadata file: /var/lib/…

devicemapper is not supported, you need to get aufs or btrfs going.

Absolutely for this, but this seems to be not possible with the current kernel, is this incorrect? Every attempt so far to change the kernel has resulted in a breaking of services needed for the subdomain (BIND, at a minimum is not working afterwards) to be accessible.

if you are on a kernel with no support for aufs or btrfs you are on your own private little adventure. I doubt you will get either to work on a 2.x series kernel, that is ancient.
