Dear Discourse Community Members,

I am encountering an unresolved error while deploying a Discourse forum on an Aliyun server in China. The error message is as follows:

I suspect it is a network issue, as accessing GitHub in China may be restricted. I have tried configuring Docker to use Alibaba Cloud’s mirror, but the problem persists.
Could someone please help me resolve this issue? Thank you very much!

This topic may contain helpful info

Also how I found this topic

In Search use keyword “Aliyun”. There looks to be possibly a guide there in Chinese in the search results. Another keyword for search that may also have info is “Great firewall” iirc

As error message mentions the error is likely higher up than what you copied. Scroll up and look for errors.

Can you check the steps from here?

Especially the part on “中国网络环境的优化”

Thank you so much for successfully solving my problem! I really appreciate your help and expertise.

On another note, it’s incredibly frustrating dealing with China’s internet walls. They really hinder access and freedom online.

Thanks again!
