Hey folks! Apologies if this has been covered, I haven’t found a clear answer. Admittedly, I am a Docker newb. I am doing some volunteer work for a non-profit on a shoestring budget with a small user base that really likes this particular software. I’m hoping to get a little less expensive than d…

For those who might be thinking of hosting with Scaleway based on the mentions of it earlier in this thread: don’t bother. Their “44 second” install took me about four hours. Once it was up and running, I found that my admin page said that I was running “v1.3.5-dirty” and that a critical update was…

Did we outline what “cheap” means? I tried ti signup on OVH today to test it, but it keep saying my phone number is invalid, despite trying a bunch of different formats. I’m running on Interserver right now at $12/mo + fixed IP. 2GB RAM. I think that’s good value to run a community on, but if I ca…

Yes, that was exactly my experience with OVH yesterday — with every telephone format I could think of ever having seen. I’m back on Scaleway again, trying one of their Docker images (Ubuntu 16.0.4 with Docker 1.12 — actually current!). I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’m trying to contact OVH but I need an account to do so electronically. Oh the irony :lol: /edit NVM, found their sales email address and contacted them

The correct way to input your phone number is +[COUNTRY CODE][PHONE NUMBER] without spaces, parenthesis, dashes or brackets. For example, OVH support office’s own phone number is +18556845463. Do you require more assistance? I will gladly assist you further.

I feel fairly certain that that was perhaps the second or third permutation that I tried; possibly not, however. In the meantime, I can report I successfully have Discourse v1.7.0.beta10 +42 running on Docker 1.12 on Ubuntu 16.0.4 on a Scaleway VC1S server in Amsterdam, at €2.99/month. For my needs…

[image] SouperC: The correct way to input your phone number is +[COUNTRY CODE][PHONE NUMBER] without spaces, parenthesis, dashes or brackets. Why why why. How much time would it take to accept and silently discard spaces, parentheses, dashes, or brackets? (Or dots or other non-digits.) “Be …

Or at least add verbiage to the form about the correct format.

That would help a little. But I still feel that it’s pushing the work of getting the format just right onto the thousands of users who will use the form rather than doing it once, at the source. But at least that’s better than forms that tell you after you’ve submitted that you made a “mistake”… b…

It sounds like they don’t want your money.
