I am getting the docker0 not found error after completing discourse-setup and on future attempts to start and connect. I am using Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (64 bit). Just installed, well… if it’s technically installed at this point. Tried starting docker manually, which works and returns a process ID, but then attempting to stop or check status on docker returns an error saying the service can’t be found, as though it’s not actually running. All the topics on the matter seem really old and none of them helped, any more recent ideas on the matter? PS, I put in the info for email related stuff when configuring and would love to not need to redo that process as I didn’t bother to write down the API key anywhere, so if I can fix the issue without reconfiguring that, that’d be nice, but I will if I have to.

Turns out the problem was that I was running on a VM inside an OpenVZ container, I was unaware that OpenVZ couldn’t run Docker (I don’t fully understand why, but whatever…). I am now running on a KVM server and the installation completed successfully. Now to get my vBulletin site migrated…

Did you install via our official guide? Try the line that installs Docker again. Try apt-get uninstalling Docker as well.

I did, following the guide here: discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub Which doesn’t seem to be working. Also, if it matters, I will be running it behind a host Nginx using this guide here: [image] Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse Self-Hosting If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX or HAProxy proxy in front of the Docker container. NOTE: This is for advanced admins This guide assumes you already have Discourse working - if you don’t, it may be hard to tell whether or not the configuration is working. You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will need to copy and edit samples/standalone.yml with your favorite tex… However, can’t do that either as I can’t rebuild the app.

It has worked for me the last hundred times I have done it. Other than Nginx did you deviate from the install guide in any way, however small? Did you see an error in your scrollback when you ran the wget command to install Docker?

There was an error towards the end, but I assumed it was a small thing that didn’t matter much as it gave another message shortly after that it had finished (and I assumed it finished sufficiently to work). Unfortunately, that was a few SSH sessions ago, what should I do to remove everything so I can rerun that process and get you the exact error message? No changes aside from the config files as directed in the Nginx guide. After I did it I realized that the exact instructions may not work with my Nginx setup, but I figured that’s not what’s preventing it from starting up properly (as appears to be the current issue). So I may end up changing the Nginx settings some later on.

Use the apt-get commands to remove Docker. Then reinstall it.

Alright, I did apt-get purge docker (I didn’t think to do docker-engine as well until after I saw the installer script stated that it was already installed), here’s the output from the wget command.

If you already have Docker installed, this script can cause trouble, which is why we're displaying this warning and provide the opportunity to cancel the installation.

If you would like to use Docker as a non-root user, you should now consider adding your user to the "docker" group with something like: sudo usermod -aG docker your-user Remember that you will have to log out and back in for this to take effect!

looks good to me, check it with docker version and docker info as well.

So does the AUFS error not matter to anything then? root@r-ri:/var/discourse# docker version Client: Version: 1.11.2 API version: 1.23 Go version: go1.5.4 Git commit: b9f10c9 Built: Wed Jun 1 21:47:50 2016 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Cannot connect to the Docker daemon.

Nope you are still boned. Sorry. I’ve installed literally hundreds of times on Digital Ocean with Ubuntu 14.04 using our standard install doc. Did you deviate from the install doc in any way? I would just destroy the droplet and start over, and follow the install doc to the letter.

I ran into the same problem on my proxmox server. Wasted a couple hours before I figured it out. Hopefully others find this and save themselves a bit of time.

I guess recent OpenVZ can?

https://openvz.org/Docker_inside_CT

no clue if that’ll result in a supported Discourse
