Install fails on fresh Debian 12 installation

installation

Hello,

This is from an attempt to install on a freshly installed (or at least unused) Debian 12. Python has been upgraded, but as far as I remember nothing else has been touched.

Here are the errors I’m struggling with:

137:M 17 Mar 2024 16:21:01.235 # Warning: Could not create server TCP listening socket *:6379: bind: Address already in use
137:M 17 Mar 2024 16:21:01.235 # Failed listening on port 6379 (TCP), aborting.

Hello, I am having the same issue with Debian 12.

Sharing full install logs in case it helps: Untitled (7mjaes0e) - PasteCode.io

Fixed it by installing Ubuntu 22 instead and then removing the MaxMind API key. You can try removing the API key and see if that solves it.

I removed the MaxMind API key and was able to get it to finish install. However, on startup, I keep getting an error related to letsencrypt being throttled and then missing files related to ssl.

Edit: I should add that I also waited an hour for the throttling to stop but it still must’ve looped erroneously because it still throws that error after a minute or two.

You’ll need to wait a week or try a different subdomain.

Oh wow, had no idea it put a cooldown of a week. I’ll give it a go in 7 days from now. Thanks for letting me know.
