Hi, I’m a beginner and I’d like to try installing Discourse for a project, but I’m having trouble installing Discourse in a Ubuntu 22.04 VM. I followed the tutorial at discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub , but after completing the steps, I don’t see anything on my w…

Hello; It works, I followed a youtube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaUIsIYivE8 ), I did the step done in the video and I left the line checked (#) for the https let’s encrypt part on the app.yml file.

Hi, welcome :wave: Did the build process end without errors?

Do you have your DNS pointing to the server? DId you run discourse-setup? What is the URL?

Yes, DNS pointing server (I can ping with hostname), i run and use commande ./discourse-setup and url is http://forum.crio-dauphine.dynv6.net but sometimes I get an nginx page that displays for 2 minutes.

I have an end message : , [2023-12-21T10:19:01.450496 #1] INFO -- : Terminating async processes I, [2023-12-21T10:19:01.481983 #1] INFO -- : Sending INT to HOME=/var/lib/postgresql USER=postgres exec chpst -u postgres:postgres:ssl-cert -U postgres:postgres:ssl-cert /usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/post…

but docker conteiner is running : root@forum:/var/discourse# docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES db41dedf0fc7 local_discourse/app "/sbin/boot" Ab…

Pinging forum.crio-dauphine.dynv6.net gives me a local address, likely one that connects to a router. :thinking:

VM ubuntu ip address is 192.168.0.115/24, i use a IP private for testing

Unless you comment out the let’s encrypt and ssl templates it will fail because there is no certificate. And I’m not sure if it’s possible to run without https anymore.
