Failed to bootstrap on DO/Docker Fresh install

I’ve just started a new server following DO instructions step by step and once did “./launcher bootstrap app” I got the following

./launcher bootstrap app
cd /pups && git pull && /pups/bin/pups --stdin
Already up-to-date.
I, [2015-08-07T08:28:55.099744 #36]  INFO -- : Loading --stdin

** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one

Any hint on why and how to solve it?

  • Did you follow the guide exactly, or did you deviate from any of the steps in any way or add anything else?

  • Is this a default english installation?

  • Does the YAML pass an online YAML validator?

I followed this guide exactly. Not even one step out of it: How To Install Discourse via Docker on Ubuntu 14.04 | DigitalOcean

Default english installation

I don’t know how to check the YAML online validator

Instance type 1GB / Frankfurt zone / Ubuntu 14.04

Just copy and paste the content of you app.yml file into http://www.yamllint.com/.

Thanks @zogstrip, the validator said:

Valid YAML!

6

I would start over from scratch (reset droplet) and follow our official guide instead.

The DO one is also semi-official, but… ours is best :wink:

Will do and revert shortly.

Exactly the same issue. (well, not exactly the same but fails anyways)

    Success. You can now start the database server using:

    /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres -D /shared/postgres_data
or
    /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/pg_ctl -D /shared/postgres_data -l logfile start

what editor did you use to edit your app.yml, it looks like you saved it in a weird format.

10

Used nano, but it passes YAML tests. Above is a copy paste from your web to the command line.

11

Something in your app.yml is messed up and passing invalid data into postgres conf. what did you change.

12

http://paste.ubuntu.com/12019770/

This is a pastebin directly from command line.

Only changed what is strictly mentioned on the tutorial. SMTP settings and unicorn workers / 128MB

This is your error. Whatever you are using to edit this file, or the contents of it, you’re entering something invalid.

that is likely it, it wants to know how many MB… a number to denote that would be helpful

Exactly @sam That was the issue there. Thanks for your help. :blush:
