Yup, because everytime it says “Cannot load app”
But, when we run forum in Incongtio, then it says “Site Can’t Be Reached”

Have you tried contacting Jay at [https://www.literatecomputing.com/](https://www.literatecomputing.com/) ? his rates are very reasonable.

Nope, because doing things by own helps me to correct these issues in future by my own.

Unfortunately, I’m a bit stumped. Your latest execution of `lsof` showed docker taking port 80, which is expected… So the issue could be a bad plugin, bad DNS setup, and anything else in between.

I would suggest rebooting the VM a few times to make sure the uninstall takes. Then if the rebuild still fails, pay for help.
Sometimes things in the Unix world gets wacky and you need a guru to resolve it.
Or just take backup and reload on a new VM.

If there is a recent backup, this could be a good solution.

I am trying now by removing plugins and taking a look at the DNS.
But if there will be the DNS error, May be it will shows us regarding this.

It seems there is not any affect on the forum during rebuilding process.
Means, Earlier, during rebuilding process, forum goes down but not offline.
But this time, it still as it as like nothing is affecting that.
Everything is same to same.

In your browser’s address bar, is it saying `https://` or does it show your site as non-secure (notice how, in my screenshot, there’s an x-ed out padlock).

Yup, notice how your screenshot has the green HTTPS padlock and mine doesn’t. Apparently, you used to have https working, but it’s not working any more.
Does your /var/discourse/containers/app.yml file have anything related to LetsEncrypt in it? Or, more importantly, did you remove anything related to LetsEncrypt while you were disabling all the plugins?

Ohh, you are right. After using http:// instead of https:// it starts working on my side also.

I think, I removed LETSENCRYPT yesterday. Now installing again.
Hope, everything will work fine.
