Hi All, (Note that I have deliberately broken all domain names by inserting whitespace because they are getting detected as links, and as a noob I cannot post >2 links in a post) I am trying to install discourse on a redhat VM at my work. I have the following constraints: Host has no direct acc…

That does sound grueling. It looks like someone managed to do it ; perhaps their notes (with a problem you’ll have down the road) will help.
