Bootstrap error during Discourse install: ENOENT - /etc/runit/1.d/letsencrypt

Installation

Hi, I’m trying to install Discourse using the standard ./launcher rebuild app process, but I’m running into an error during bootstrap:

FAILED
--------------------
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /etc/runit/1.d/letsencrypt
Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/pups-1.3.0/lib/pups/replace_command.rb:11:in `read'
replace failed with the params {"filename"=>"/etc/runit/1.d/letsencrypt", "from"=>"/--keylength/", "to"=>"-d forum.mysite.org --keylength"}
bootstrap failed with exit code 1
** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one.

It looks like the error is triggered by a plugin trying to run a replace command on the file /etc/runit/1.d/letsencrypt, which doesn’t exist inside the container during bootstrap. The relevant line in the plugin looks like this:

- replace:
    filename: "/etc/runit/1.d/letsencrypt"
    from: "/--keylength/"
    to: "-d forum.mysite.org --keylength"

Any advice on how to fix this or properly regenerate the missing file?

Thanks in advance.

A plugin? That’s cups code from your app.yml, right? Are you trying to add another certificate? Like in Set up Let’s Encrypt with multiple domains / redirects Can you include the actual code and both certificates?

As you point out, that runit no longer exists, and now that magic is in /usr/local/bin/letsencrypt (inside the container)

I think maybe you want something like this if your site is www.mysite.org and you also want it to have a cert for forum.mysite.org:

- replace:
    filename: "/usr/local/bin/letsencrypt"
    from: "/-d www.mysite.org/"
    to: "-d www.mysite.org -d forum.mysite.org "
    global: true

What I would do (which may be of no help to you) is enter the container, apt update;apt install -y vim and then edit /usr/local/bin/letsencrypt such that it would request the certificates you want.

I added code to the let’s encrypt topic linked above that should let you enter your domain and get code that you can copy/paste into your app.yml.
