Environment Discourse: latest tests-passed Host OS: [Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 24.04.3 LTS] Install method: official Docker install, running ./discourse-setup Platform: VPS (Digital Ocean) Steps to reproduce Run ./discourse-setup from /var/discourse Enter SMTP details when prompted: SMTP server: smt…

can you test if this relates to particularly letters in the password maybe @ / ! surface the bug? All the sed/awk and fancy bash scripting in discourse-setup do make it rather tricky to maintain. Perhaps @pfaffman has some ideas here?

Right. That’s a good bet. @Ethsim2 if you change the password to something with only numbers and letters and not the same as part of the username so you have this issue? Can you share the values you are using? I’ll try to take a look later today.

If you removed the 83f…com part of the password and just left the password (5AH…), does it work?

yes, then i run ./launcher rebuild app, since ./discourse-setup had already configured SWAP & created the app.yml

[图片] Ethsim2: Password contains special characters (@, !), but the problem is not just YAML quoting: the username string is literally concatenated at the start of the password. Yeah. That’s the issue. There are multiple levels of escaping that need to happen, like when bash reads the value, …

[图片] Ethsim2: @ SMTP usernames always contain @ though, don’t they?

Yeah. I don’t think @ should cause a problem.

there’s no ! in my screenshot where the concatenation happens

What is the password you were trying to enter? (And presumably you’re using a different one now!)
