I just try a new installation on a new VPS and I get the following error:

I have never seen such an error so I don’t know what to right now.

Can please someone tell me what this is or is something missing? (or is Discourse rebuildung the “image” right now?)

Kind regards

First thing I’d suggest is you re-do the git pull and launcher rebuild. It’s possible you were unlucky enough to pick up a version which didn’t quite work.

If this doesn’t work, please post the full log. (Almost everyone who helpfully posts a partial log doesn’t post enough of it!)

I did this from Friday afternoon til Sunday evening and evey time the same failure.

Now I can’t post the full log because I don’t have this server anymore. :wink:

We’ve seen problems people have had with odd unreachability of github - people in China, people in some particular cloud provider. So, details of your provider and the location of the system might be (or might have been) useful to help understand the problem.

Sometimes the problem lies with the cloud provider.

(I say odd unreachability, because I think at least once github seemed accessible from the host but not within the container.)

I’m from Germany and the hoster was Strato (even from Germany and the server was in Germany too).

It was just a test and had other problems with Strato too, so I reverted the VPS.
