I have tried to install Discourse, and I get a FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP error.
Here’s the log:

./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.

it looks like the main error is that it cannot connect to the server, but I don’t quite understand it…

Could someone help?

How much RAM memory do you have in this server?

ONT_Studios · July 24, 2020, 7:12pm

1 gb.

Falco · July 24, 2020, 7:29pm

Hmmm, this is really weird.

We calculate the size of db_shared_buffers here:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/master/discourse-setup#L226-L245

I can’t see how you end up with just 8kB following this.

Can you check your app.yml file for the value?

ONT_Studios · July 25, 2020, 7:10am

Sure thing, where is app.yml located, or what command should I execute to view it (cat)?

IAmGav · July 25, 2020, 10:17am

/var/discourse/containers/app.yml

I found nano Easier to use.

IAmGav · July 25, 2020, 10:39am

that should not be zero

change it to

ONT_Studios · July 25, 2020, 10:40am

Thank you, give me a second while I change it.

ONT_Studios · July 25, 2020, 10:45am

My post disappeared because it got caught in a spam filter, anyways I’ll paste the new log on pastebin.

IAmGav · July 25, 2020, 10:59am

after you made changes to the yml file, run this command.

./launcher rebuild app

ONT_Studios · July 25, 2020, 11:04am

Thank you, it also returns a failed to bootstrap error, see the log:

IAmGav · July 25, 2020, 11:10am

its having some issues with shared_buffers and postgresql.

what else is running on that instance ?

ONT_Studios · July 25, 2020, 11:10am

Nothing else is running on the vm (i think)…
I bought it from Azure
