Hello,
I am trying to install Discourse that is given in Github.
These steps I followed but still nothing helps:
1. Created a Cloud Server ( Ubuntu 16 )
2. Install Docker from official site.
3. Install Required software i.e. Postgres 10+, Redis 2.6+, Ruby 2.5+
After this I followed this instructions :
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)
But after all this I am getting error when I try to open my website.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in Advance

Yesterday I setup everything and didn’t setup any admin or anything. I am only able to see the nginx welcome message.
Anyway thanks, I will look forward for this, Maybe this is because of some cache or else

in your app.yml file, you should have added an developer email address. that would be your admin email id

You’re inside the container. app.yml is outside it.
