Good morning!
I am trying to setup Discourse on a fresh Hetzner Ubuntu system. When I initiate the installation via
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/discourse/discourse_docker/main/install-discourse
I basically receive a 404 Not Found.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance!!
Best,
Dan

That doesn’t look like the install command.
From the docs:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/discourse/discourse_docker/main/install-discourse | sudo bash

It is. -qO- only mutes all status-feedback in the console, so I removed it in order to get the actual error message. Otherwise the command would simply do nothing w/o any feedback.
Edit: But since the URL resolves just fine in a browser I think it is an issue on my end.. simply can’t figure out what it is.

I see. Do you have any firewall in place?

No, nothing yet. I wanted to finish the install to make sure nothing is interfering.
From your screenshot, you seem to have written discourse-docker instead of discourse_docker.

You are a genius!! For some reason copy resulted in various errors (e.g. ; instead of : in the url) and I have missed that one!

It worked. At least I did not receive any error messages. But isn`t there a wizard supposed to start afterwards?
All I get is this:
Or am I supposed to continue web based once my subdomain DNS is active?

I’m no wget expert, but is it because -qO- is absent?

NateDhaliwal:
-qO-
Hmmm.. from my understanding all It does is suppressing any console-status feedback. But I will try the command exactly as mentioned in the guide, too.
Update: I stand corrected. It indeed works with -q0- added. I learn something new every day

@danvanmoll I will need to check, but I think there’s more stuff shown after this?

The installation seems to run as intended with the complete command line. Still baffled but it was a me-issue all the time
