Base Download Error

Hi.
I have been trying to install Discourse today and after initiating download of the Discourse base image (./discourse-setup) the system gets to the following point and then just hangs, eventually closing the connection.

Unable to find image 'discourse/base:2.0.20190505-2322' locally

I have tested my internet connection and it appears stable.

How might I go about finding out what is causing this process to be interrupted.

Thanks
Simon

Welcome, Simon!

When you say it “closes the connection”, what closes why connection? Are you losing your ssh connection to your server?

What is the server? How much ram does it have?

Hi Jay
Thanks for responding to this. The setup has now run successfully. I’m not certain what fixed it, but I suspect it was a problem with PuTTY connecting to the server.

Thanks again
Simon

Sounds right. A cool solution is mosh. I don’t know if it’s available for windows.

There is a mosh executable, but it depends on whether it was the server or client which was having connectivity issues as to whether it would help.

One simpler native solution is just to set Discourse up from inside a screen session.

Right screen or tmux (my favorite) requires installation just on the server. Not sure why that wasn’t my first recommendation. It took me five years to start using mosh.

Thanks, guys! I’m all set up now. I will check out screen and mosh for future uses though.
