So following the instructions from the guide ([discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)) seems to work just fine - no errors I can see and it all comes to the end with: > - /usr/bin/docker run -d --restart=always -e LANG=en\_US.UTF-8 -e RAILS\_ENV=production -e UNICORN\_WORKERS=2 -e UNICORN\_SIDEKIQS=1 -e RUBY\_GLOBAL\_METHOD\_CACHE\_SIZE=131072 -e RUBY\_GC\_HEAP\_GROWTH\_MAX\_SLOTS=40000 -e RUBY\_GC\_HEAP\_INIT\_SLOTS=400000 -e RUBY\_GC\_HEAP\_OLDOBJECT\_LIMIT\_FACTOR=1.5 -e DISCOURSE\_DB\_SOCKET=/var/run/postgresql -e DISCOURSE\_DB\_HOST= -e DISCOURSE\_DB\_PORT= -e LETSENCRYPT\_DIR=/shared/letsencrypt -e DISCOURSE\_HOSTNAME=discourse.[testdomain] -e DISCOURSE\_DEVELOPER\_EMAILS=discourse@[testdomain] -e DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_ADDRESS=[smtp.sendgrid.net](http://smtp.sendgrid.net) -e DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PORT=587 -e DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_USER\_NAME=apikey -e DISCOURSE\_SMTP\_PASSWORD=[api] -e LETSENCRYPT\_ACCOUNT\_EMAIL=me@[testdomain] -h ubuntu-discourse-app -e DOCKER\_HOST\_IP=172.17.0.1 --name app -t -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /var/discourse/shared/standalone:/shared -v /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log:/var/log --mac-address 02:21:5e:00:74:46 local\_discourse/app /sbin/boot when I go to the IP address to access it I get the NGINX screen and then after a few moments I hit refresh and I get the “ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED” screen in Chrome. ---
