Learning how to deploy discourse on docker, on premise, following/using this project . I can’t find any “Issues” there so I ask here. I work on a packer-project deploying the whole stack via ansible, the target machine is a small local debian-12 VM right now (docker-ce 28.2.2). The app.yml is more …

OK , I “solved” that. Somehow the git checkout didn’t pull correctly and was using some strange old combo of image and config. Re-pulled, starting over. I think I should be able to progress now. thx EDIT: seems the former git-checkout came from branch master and not main. So it was rather outdated…

Does your local VM have full internet access and https? The normal local install is dev-install Otherwise use the standard install for production.

The VM is fully online, yes. Although it is not yet reachable from the outside via a working FQDN, DNS-record, static IP. If that matters for bootstrapping (I had assumed, no).

it fails at this line Doesn’t that maybe relate to the fact that the user discourse doesn’t exist on the docker host … ? … maybe … ? Or is that inside the discourse-container?

I get the same error on a completely different host.

This one has a working FQDN pointing to the server etc
