¿Cómo edito mi archivo "/containers/app.yml" desde el workspace SSH root@digitialoceandropletname?

[railsnoob]

I installed discourse through DigitalOcean with the instructions here

The instructions read:

If you need to change or fix these settings after bootstrapping, edit your /containers/app.yml file

I am at the command prompt and logged into the ssh workspace

root@discourseforum:~#

Can someone please explain how I open the “/containers/app.yml file” file to edit it?

This should work:

cd /var/discourse
nano containers/app.yml

[railsnoob]

This just gives me a black screen. How do I access the text file to make changes?

[jomaxro (Joshua Rosenfeld)]

Hmm…is the file not there?

What do you get when you run:

cd /var/discourse/containers
ls -la

Also, just to check, when you ran the commands in my previous post, you didn’t put a slash in front of containers, right?

You can use one of the templates from the templates folder. For example if you would like to run a stand alone server just use the standalone.yml file.

Example:

cp /var/discourse/samples/standalone.yml /var/discourse/containers/app.yml

In there you can make the necessary changes.

AFAIK cuando no está en el contenedor, containers es un subdirectorio de /var/discourse; no hay un directorio /containers. Así que, a menos que me equivoque, la línea “o edita /containers/app.yml manualmente” en INSTALL.md debería decir “o edita containers/app.yml manualmente” o “o edita /var/discourse/containers/app.yml manualmente”.
