Hi, Complete newb here trying to get an installation happening on AWS using EC2 (Ubuntu 16.05LTS), PostgreSQL, Redis. Im following the under 30 minute guide as well as http://stroupaloop.com/blog/discourse-setup-using-aws/ I noticed in the app.yml file, there are no options to specify database. Is it just a point of adding in the following with my settings into the yml file? Thanks in advance Todd DISCOURSE_DB_SOCKET: '' DISCOURSE_DB_NAME: [AWS_POSTGRES_DB_NAME] DISCOURSE_DB_POOL: 15 DISCOURSE_DB_USERNAME: [AWS_POSTGRES_DB_USERNAME] DISCOURSE_DB_PASSWORD: [AWS_POSTGRES_DB_PASSWORD] DISCOURSE_DB_HOST: [AWS_POSTGRES_ENDPOINT] DISCOURSE_REDIS_HOST: [AWS_REDIS_ENDPOINT]

Pretty much and then not mixing in the database.yml file cause you do now want it in the container.

Thanks @sam, Would it t be better to add in the database.yml file?

No, we use GlobalSettings which are either in discourse.conf or ENV for configuration of production.

@sam how do you “not mix in the database.yml file” Is it just a point of removing the following lines in the app.yml file? “templates/postgres.template.yml” “templates/redis.template.yml” could you please expand Thanks Todd

That should be it, yes. The web_only sample should be your basis for the container.

After making said changes & running ./discourse setup again I am getting error messages FAILED -------------------- Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate' failed with return # Location of failure: /pups/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:108:in `spawn' exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"bundle_exec", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle install --deployment --verbose --without test --without development --retry 3 --jobs 4'", "su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'", "su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile'"]} 2cd1970d5dc16462b89df28ebbd6b880c5640d0b21f8f2283d3b59d8e8695a9f ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one

Can this be of some help for you? [image] Configure Discourse to use a separate PostgreSQL server Self-Hosting Let’s say you’re using AWS RDS, or an existing PostgreSQL server managed elsewhere. It’s fairly straightforward to get Discourse to use such a setup, without needing to grant superuser privileges to anything that Discourse itself runs. Here’s how. Prerequisites Discourse requires PostgreSQL’s major version to match what we ship with in our docker images; if you try to run on a newer or older version, it might work, but we don’t guarantee it, and if something breaks in the future, you get to …
