Hello, first post here.
I’m trying to bootstrap discourse but i have this error :
`(): did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line 32 column 3 -e LANG=en_US.UTF-8 YAML syntax error. Please check your /var/discourse/containers/*.yml config files.`
What should i do ?
Thanks

Feed your app.yml configuration through [http://www.yamllint.com/](http://www.yamllint.com/) to figure out where you messed up.
You didn’t format your app.yml correctly (or one of the other files) and therefore it is blowing up.

without seeing it in context, I can’t tell you why it is wrong, can you post the 5 lines above it and the 5 lines below it?

Are you sure that is the line? Can you confirm it has two spaces before db\_default\_text\_search\_config and isn’t a tab character?

Yes 2 spaces not a tab, is there a way to restore the app.yml ?

Can you remove all sensitive information from it and post it here? Sensitive info being: your email settings, and anything else you don’t want shared (domain name, email addresses, etc).
