I only get the default page from the webserver and not discourse (Jelastic with docker image)

Installatie Hosting

First discourse is an excellent software and I am totally thrilled. Only I have a problem with the installation. I would like to use Jelastic with a Docker image. However, when I load the docker image for Jelastic I only get the default page from the webserver and not discourse.

What am I doing wrong? What I must do?

I hope someone can help me.

Thank you,
Sven

Hello @sm-a,

Discourse won’t be compatible with a PaaS/CaaS out of the box.

I recommend going with a good old VPS, which you can get from Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc for $5.

Welcome, @sm-a. You really need to follow discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub. The docker image needs considerable configuration to create a usable instance.

Hello, @sm-a ! To install Discourse on Jelastic, please follow these steps:

1) Create a new environment using the following parameters (Setting Up Environment | Virtuozzo Dev Docs):

- New environment – Docker – Search — Docker hub – “discourse/base”
- Vertical scaling per node:
    - reserved – 25 cloudlets
	- scaling limit – 30 cloudlets
- Disc limit- 20 Gb
- Add public IP (IPv4 or IPv6)

2) Start the created environment and execute the following commands in the container console (via SSH Web - (Virtuozzo Application Platform - PaaS for DevOps hosting | Virtuozzo)):

service nginx stop
update-rc.d -f nginx disable
wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh
service docker start
mkdir /var/discourse
git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse
cd /var/discourse
./discourse-setup

3) Run the installation of Discourse with the such parameters (set in the console during the installation process):

Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]: 
Email address for admin account(s)?	[me@example.com,you@example.com]: 
SMTP server address? [smtp.example.com]: 
SMTP port? [587]: 
SMTP user name? [user@example.com]: 
SMTP password? [pa$$word]: 
Let's Encrypt account email? (ENTER to skip) [me@example.com]:

4) Optionally, perform fine tuning of the environment - trace the number of used cloudlets and set up with a small encrease as “Reserved cloudlets”.

5) Read the recommendations of the developer Discourse - _discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub (please remove underline on begin of link (added because account limitation))

If you have any additional questions don’t hesitate to ask your hosting provider or contacting us directly via form - _Virtuozzo Application Platform - PaaS for DevOps hosting | Virtuozzo (please remove underline on begin of link (added because account limitation))).
