are you able to access GitHub - discourse/discourse-mint-theme: A modern theme with a hint of mint · GitHub directly? perhaps this is a firewall issue?
I can clone it in the container, but I don’t know which directory to put it in
Does the option to use the github URL to install it work? I guess it might have the same problem?
You can also download the zip from github directly, and upload it via this interface using the “from your device” option… but the downside of that is that it’s not connected to the git repo, so every time you’d like to update the theme it would have to be manually uploaded.
If your discourse is hosted domestically, it may be inaccessible, or perhaps the issue lies with the URL you’ve entered.
I guess you need to disable that in your container? maybe this proxy is not allowing the themes through.
Theme installation succeeded after closing github Web proxy
