The user JayDeb is struggling to determine if Discourse is installed correctly on an Oracle Free VPS, as the installation process appears to hang with repeated messages and no access via URL. Firepup650 suggests checking the wait time and system resources, noting that the container is still building and may require more swap space. pfaffman confirms the container is in the build phase and explains that builds now take longer due to increased resource demands. JayDeb eventually succeeds after multiple attempts and plans to use a more powerful setup for production, with 2 CPU cores, 2GB RAM, and 4GB swap, acknowledging the need for better resources for a smooth installation.
Hi guys,
I am installing discourse on the oracle free vps, I have tried multiple times, but I got the following message every single time.
I can’t tell if discourse is installed correctly. Looks like the message is repeating itself and I am not able to access the discourse via url.
And I do see the container running
Any help is greatly appreciated.
That seems like it’s unfinished, how long are you waiting when it gets there?
The first time I waited for almost an hour, the last time I waited over 20 minutes afte. It’s 1AM here right now, I will try again tomorrow and see what happened.
How much RAM and swap does your site have? It might not be enough.
1GB of Ram, I believe the discourse auto created 2GB of swap during the installation, but will double check later.
I think someone said you’ll need more swap than that, perhaps try 4GB?
The container is still building. When it’s started the container name will be “app”. Yours is still a random named used to build the container.
Builds take a very long time now.
I see, I wasn’t expecting it to take over an hour. But now I know.
I’m running the installation now, will report back.
I am running the installation now, if it doesn’t work, I will try again with 4GB swap. Thanks
It’s not what I world expect either, but you have a underpowered cpu and not much ram. Discourse takes a lot more ram to build than it once did. One gb really isn’t enough.
I would go ahead and add more swap.
After many tries, I finally have a test box running.
For my production server, I will aim for 2 CPU, 2GB Ram with 4GB swap.
Thank you so much
