After some searching how to fix the problem I found in internet that problem might be with pre-installed docker by ubuntu (I didn’t installed it) and the command how to fix it: wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh After it I was able to send a registration email to my admin mail the only time, but still haven’t finished registration process. The next day (18.02.25) I saw some new ubuntu kernel updates packages. After updates the registration have broken down again - it just refreshing page again. I tried to run that script again, tried to apt-purge docker-io, apt-purge docker-cli, apt-purge containerd-io, rm -rf /etc/docker, rm -rf /var/lib/docker, rm -rf /var/discourse, tried to install docker-io package and nothing helps. Reproducible steps: Try to install discourse on pure ubuntu 24.10.

[image] Jay Pfaffman: Only LTS versions are recommended. As Jay said, use the LTS version. It works as expected on 24.04.

~~24.10 isn’t released yet.~~ Only LTS versions are recommended.

EDIT: I don’t know what year it is.

It’s still not recommended to run an OS that will be unsupported in 6 months.
