Fresh install of discourse\_docker returns a failed to bootstrap error when trying to build the import container. I’m using the phpbb3.template.yml and the instructions listed [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-from-phpbb3/30810).

I had this working a day or so ago and then it started failing. I’ve completely refreshed the droplet and pulled down the latest code but I’m still seeing the same issue. Anything change recently?

```

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

A few lines above your text it says what to do (though rather cryptically). See [Nothing displayed on launcher rebuild - #5 by pfaffman](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nothing-displayed-on-launcher-rebuild/142721/5) for some slightly-better hints.
