Ionos XL VPS Ubuntu Plesk. With apps eg Wordpress. Also using Redis. So need to use same Redis install on same server for Discourse. Seems to be an issue.  
Docker Install.  
Can not build. Error Redis can not connect. Yes did every conceivable variation in app.yml & redis.config & nginx & apache. 1 week with Deepseek, Chatgpt, Gemini, Grok, nobody on earth can solve this.  
Domain & Hosting & DNS is setup in Plesk, Ionos account area for Firewall. Everything else done in Bash.  
Install procedure notes to myself : [Discourse install on Plesk Ubuntu with Docker](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16p3Erd81MyBQWg1KUPwnDF2bs4DRbzc2lmcUMfjkZdU/edit?usp=sharing)  
app.yml: [app.yml](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A0YlLbL7LC2zGjxIhw-2rQO74Sf6vsQL/view?usp=sharing)  
redis.config: [redis.config](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cgI6l6zTQRWXw7UxujUZhoOyvqlBaGE0/view?usp=sharing)
