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 a kernel version higher than host, so moved on. I know DO is the officially supported and easy way to get it done, but figured I was up for a challenge and OVH seemed to have a better deal. I purchased their cloud 1 package. It’s been hell ever since. OVH has a kernel that will not play nice with docker. I’ve gone through the standard guides for upgrading the kernel. I’ve installed offical OVH kernel’s that were newer, no dice. I’ve installed the generic kernel, but this always breaks BIND. The furthest I’ve got so far is getting an instance of Discourse to run, but not on the specified subdomain in the configuration file, and smtp is not working locally either. I tried to use gmail with the three different ways it can be done, port 25, 465, 573, none worked. I finally got mail working with Mandrillapp. This is not good enough. The site isn’t even for me, someone is paying me to figure this out, and I’m failing thus far. He wants to run multiple sites on subdomains of the main domain. So I’m a bit stuck at this point. OVH said no sys admin’s will be available until Monday, and my terribly sleep deprived mind wants this over already so I can rest in peace. I’m going insane. Someone please point me in the right direction. When I look to the DO guide, there is no mention of a control panel, or actually setting up SMTP. subdomains, etc… To what extent is this done for you within the discourse/docker guide? I’ve tried to set everything in manually with a few control panels now: Plesk, Sentora, and EHCP. None of this is working, because again, after I find a solution that will get the docker working correctly to run discourse, this exact thing is what leads to BIND going down. That’s the loading of an alternative kernel. Not asking for babystepping, but any insight and pointers would be great. I’ve reinstalled at least two dozen times and tried out at least a dozen guides over the last 2-3 days… heck I don’t even know when I started… I need to figure this out before I go grey LOL! HELP

[图片] pl3bs: I know DO is the officially supported and easy way to get it done, but figured I was up for a challenge I’d recommend biting the bullet and going through the official guide using Digital Ocean first. Get a real feel for how it works as documented there before experimenting further if you’re having this kind of trouble. Then, start playing around with more advanced stuff, like this multi-site install guide. There is also an advanced troubleshooting faq and an advanced setup guide. But again, start with the basic guide first. And regarding this: [图片] pl3bs: I tried to use gmail with the three different ways it can be done, port 25, 465, 573, none worked. [图片]Troubleshoot email on a new Discourse install You should not be using GMail as a default mail delivery (outgoing mail) service. This is unlikely to work even intermittently. We recommend using Mandrill.

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 kernel and various services breaking after trying to alter it. I was under the impression that upgrading the kernel in their “cloud” VPS packages would be painless, guess someone sold me hot air. I have briefly looked through the multi-site install guide some time ago. Will check the rest of your links now. If anyone has experience with an OVH cloud install of discourse PLEASE help me out. Thanks again for the speedy reply :smile:

[图片] 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

I’m willing to try and get aufs without a different kernel if possible? and the break: root@vps34714:/var/discourse# ./launcher bootstrap app Unable to find image ‘samsaffron/discourse:1.0.7’ locally Pulling repository samsaffron/discourse time=“2014-12-21T01:17:40-05:00” level=“fatal” msg=“Get https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/samsaffron/discourse/images: dial tcp: lookup index.docker.io: no DNS servers” Your Docker installation is not working correctly See: Troubleshoot docker installation issues

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.
