Hi there, I’m trying to install on my Raspberry Pi following this guide Install Discourse on a residential internet with Cloudflare Tunnel Fresh install of PiOS Lite and I get the following error. FAILED -------------------- Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec…

Hi @lemonade u have solution for your problem? I buy today new rPi 5 and I have the same exact problem. Yesterday I do same process on rPi4 and works fine, Im not sure if discourse is compatible with rPi 5 :frowning:

No, still not working for me. Tried 2 different Pi5’s and SD cards. I don’t have a Pi4 to try with. I just assumed I was doing something wrong and gave up! So that good to hear it might not have been me!

I tried again on Pi4 and works fine, I think sadly for now Discourse is not compatible with Pi5 As Pi5 users we will have to keep an eye on the news :sweat_smile:

Glad to hear you got it working on your Pi4 @keviiNN25 - Guess I just need to hold out for Pi5 Support :slight_smile: Out of interest, what OS are you running on your Pi? I tested with Pi OS Lite 64bit, but didn’t try anything else.

I only have a Pi4, will try to source a Pi5 to hunt this down.

Is there anything that I could do to help @Falco ?

I have Pi OS Desktop 64bit on Pi5 and the same on Pi4

I have a Pi5 arriving later today, will try a fresh install and report back!

FWIW I managed to get a development install running on a Pi 5 , but it was quite messy along the way :sweat_smile: I’m definitely not recommending you use anything other than the standard install if this is meant for public consumption on the internet, but just to provide a datapoint that all requir…

Eek! yeah, I might just hold off for the standard install to be working! :slight_smile:
