Dear Community, I’ve tried to install a private instance of Discourse, following the official instructions at discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub . Even though the scripts look utterly complex, I had to manually modify the container.yml and the discourse-setup file…

Hurray! It seems my email provider finally accepts the port 587 and I’ve correctly received the activation mail! The whole app in now up and running and I’m gonna dig into all settings… Thanks a lot to all of you, thanks for the helping hand!

The setup script works only for a standard setup. If you’re doing something more complex you have to edit the yml by hand. That’s much simpler than modifying the script. Discourse won’t work on a non standard port. You’ll need a reverse proxy in front. See topics like Run other websites on the same…

I didn’t perform any ‘non-standard’ install! I’ve, as actually described in the documentation, download the whole stuff from Github, changed the exposed ports only and ran the script: I didn’t change anything in redis configuration, nor postgres. I didn’t change anything for redis version. These …

In general discourse-setup does not install separate postgres and redis instances and certainly not versions 12 and 4. Can you please post your configuration and the changes you made to container.yml and the scripts? Make sure to redact any confidential settings. Also, please let us know which com…

OK, I then need to: wipe all the software that was installed with the modified scripts (hope this will easily reversible). download the script again. I’ve used git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse for the current installation: is it OK? change possibly some se…

Hi @pfaffman , Reading the documentation on Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse , I need some confirmation: The post says You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will need to copy and edit samples/standalone.yml with your…

Update: download the whole stuff from Github : DONE run discourse-setup once with the option --skip-connection-test : everything went fine until the end, where the script returned docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint app (784361985c928eb2…

I think you need to comment out the ports.
