I’m new to the azure, its hard for me to install the iscourse in azure even I can’t understand your written tutorial. some of the command is not working.
Have you done a search on youtube? I can see a few that might help you to some extent (but given they are not created by the Discourse team YMMV).
Rather than asking someone to produce an entire video, perhaps detailing your specific issues might get you to the solution quicker?
I trust you are following this?:

I don’t know where the command Get-AzureRmEffectiveNetworkSecurityGroup came from, but you don’t need the instructions in the SwapFaq link to setup swap, you should follow the swap instructions in How to setup Discourse on Azure.
Specifically did you edit /etc/waagent.conf and restart your vm?

Hi blake I stuck with S edit /etc/waagent.conf i am new to ubuntu and azure I can’t find the path or file could you suggest me where can I find the path or file to edit this
No worries I’ll try and walk you through it…
Above you are using “Run Command Script”. This won’t work. You will either need ssh access into the machine or you can use the Azure Serial Console from the Azure Portal. You can find the Serial Console by clicking on your VM in the azure portal and it will show up in the left pane at the bottom:
Once you have shell access let me know.

Once you have shell access you can type: sudo cat /etc/waagent.conf (followed by enter) to view the contents of that file.
To edit /etc/waagent.conf per the instructions you can simply copy and paste this entire command:
sudo sed -i '/ResourceDisk.Format=n/c\ResourceDisk.Format=y' /etc/waagent.conf && \
sudo sed -i '/ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=n/c\ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y' /etc/waagent.conf && \
sudo sed -i '/ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=0/c\ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=2048' /etc/waagent.conf
then press enter. Then you can restart the vm.

Yes blake it install after that what I need to do.
Okay, I’m not sure what step you are at. Were you able to run the command above to edit the /etc/waagent.conf and did you restart your vm?

Awesome. To verify that the swap has been turned on can you open up the console again and run this command:
swapon --show
Then copy/paste the output into here?
Out of curiosity was is the size of your VM?
If that all looks then you can follow the official cloud install guide starting with the Install Docker section.
