I’m sorry to hear you’re having such a tough time setting it up.

> One possible gotcha here is that my web app is a JavaScript single page app. The page where discourse comments are being embedded is `https://personnel.29th.local/#enlistments/1234` and there is no server-side rendering. If that were a problem, I would expect an error with the crawler, at which point I’d settle for Discourse simply linking to my app, rather than crawling it. But the errors it shows don’t appear to relate to crawling failures.

Discourse is not smart enough to crawl a SPA so this sounds the fishiest to me. Can you try and reproduce with a site that contains static content?

It is impossible for us to support every bespoke install, so I recommend you try simplifying your stack further until it works, then add on pieces from there.
