Hello, I have the same problem with nginx and discourse. Always getting the “welcome to nginx"-Page instead of discourse. DNS and Mail server are setup and I’m hosting on-prem and not in the cloud. I used this guide: discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub Fresh in…

I’d recommend using 18.04LTS and not a release that’s going to be unsupported soon. What does docker ps say?

docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 01b8b484088b local_discourse/app "/sbin/boot" 12 hours ago Up 12 hours 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:443->443/…

Hi FunTec! I think you haven’t isntall netcat. I hope it will help you!

Hi there. I’m getting the exact same issue. I’m starting with a fresh install of ubuntu: 20.04.3 LTS To clarify, no. Nginx was not installed prior. Here is a link to the install log: install How to resolve, thanks.

I’m dealing with the same issue here. Fresh install of ubuntu 24 lts Bootstrap completes, then nginx default page. When I ./discourse-doctor I get: DISCOURSE DOCTOR Fri Apr 25 06:19:55 PM UTC 2025 OS: Linux talk 6.8.0-58-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Mar 14 18:29:48 UTC 2025 x86_64 …

Just to clarify, it seems that nginx page is only available when surfing to the host name from the host computer, any other computers on the network just get a failed to connect error.
