Hello, I am running as root and trying to install via docker by the instructions at https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-digital-ocean.md

I am getting this error.
This includes the error and some of the log before the error

FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP

I am experienced with linux / ubuntu systems but I have very little experience with ruby or gems. What am I doing wrong? I followed the initial instructions to the letter. The only things in the config file that I changed was the smtp server and the admin email.

This looks like a transient error because https://rubygems.org/ wasn’t responding in time; is your server behind a firewall that might block access to the RubyGems site?

3

Highly doubt it. I will try again later, is there anything I can do if the site is blocked?

4

Are there other things that can cause this?

5

Probably. The logged <Process::Status: pid 329 exit 137> indicates that bundler was killed with a KILL signal which, under normal circumstances, only happens

  • when issued manually with kill -9,
  • during system shutdown if the process didn’t respond to a TERM signal first,
  • or if the kernel has run out of memory and needs to free up some RAM…

Hrm, that RAM thing could be an issue, im running on 1.75 gb of RAM, but I have an apache server, phpmyadmin and mysql running on the vps already. Could that be the issue?

I’d say so. Even if the bootstrapping succeeds, it’ll be hard to get Discourse to run; and if you can get it to run, you’ll most likely not enjoy the performance…

1 GB + 1 GB swap is the minimum requirement for the default Discourse setup with nothing else running on the system.
