Before flaming me, please note I’ve read through nearly every post on these forums about Discourse + Mailjet, but nothing has answered my specific question. During the setup process, Discourse wants the following information: DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS — can be anything DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS — I…

I was testing this exact setup (1GB RAM + 2GB SWAP) and it fails 50% of the time during Ember build phase. You can either keep trying or bump to a $12 2GB RAM droplet. cc @david this is what we were discussing earlier this week.

[image] Falco: I was testing this exact setup (1GB RAM + 2GB SWAP) and it fails 50% of the time during Ember build phase. I’ve had two sites recently with 8GB of RAM and no swap that failed like this. (At least somewhere it failed with an exit 137). In both cases I added 2gb of swap and they …

Hopefully - for me - this can be regarded as a bug?

This is not a bug. Discourse requires what it requires, and if the necessary resources are not available, it cannot be installed.

I followed your suggestion and was able to install Discourse successfully on a $6 Droplet. However, my main issue now is I cannot seem to connect Mailjet properly, and as a result, I cannot get past the “Confirm Your Email” part of the setup process. Is there a way to bypass this until I can confi…

Does the sending address match the one configured at Mailjet? It won’t send email for other addresses and is a pretty common mistake.

I am not using a Sender Address for Mailjet. Instead, I am using a Sender Domain (which opens up the use of nonexistent entities like noreply@mydomain.com ). I cannot use the Sender Address because, technically, no emails exist on this domain (because I cannot do this reasonably with DigitalOcean). …
