i have been playing around installing Discourse over the past few days on both Layer7 & Hetzner VPS. I have had no issues installing on Layer7 and followed the ‘Install with Virtualmin’ guide, and it’s working really well. Virtualmin has also launched a new Podman module with a Discourse recipe tha…

The actual reason is told before that failed text. Can you fnd something strange there?

[image] apidevlab: ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages This should be read as “please post at least a couple of hundred lines of the log to get assistance”

we need more info. post the entire failed bootstrap code. installing on Hetzner is super easy. i use it exclusively.

[image] apidevlab: Virtualmin has also launched a new Podman module with a Discourse recipe that works but is a little bit buggy. also podman installs are unsupported so it’s not surprising that it’s buggy. you will have a difficult time getting support for this install configuration.

I have pretty much given up on it. What sort of info is needed? Like I said happy to provide logs and command-line inputs/outputs; it has me stumped even a clean install is failing. Never had it before. This NOT a Podman install it’s an ‘official’ version using the 1 line installer

[image] apidevlab: ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one. we need the whole failed bootstrap output code, not just that last error message. just post everything that the system spits out when you attempt to build.

@Lilly Thanks, I sort of expected that. I have had enough today, so I will post full logs tomorrow, but thankyou for the info.

De plus, les installations Podman ne sont pas prises en charge, il n’est donc pas surprenant qu’il y ait des bugs. Vous aurez du mal à obtenir un support pour cette configuration d’installation.
