I created a test topic, but the option does not appear to mark the answer as the best, what can it be?

Do you mean for the solved plugin? Only the post author and staff can mark a post as the solution.

You need to SSH into your server, and edit your app.yml file (it’s just a text file)

It is located in `/var/discourse/containers/`.

You are missing a command there.

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
sudo nano containers/app.yml

```

Scroll to the bottom (using Page Dn), till you see the last `- git clone ...` command

Then add a new line, use spaces to ensure your `-` lines up (must be spaces, do not use tab) and paste the new git clone command  
`git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved.git`

Then press CTRL + X, answer Y to save, press enter again (I think), then once at the console run  
`sudo ./launcher rebuild app`

Yes, it will go offline during a rebuild. It will be back up once the rebuild completes.

Would seem not, it seems your app.yml has an invalid character in it. On line 98. You can use `nano` to edit it again, and press CTRL + C to see what line your cursor is on. Find line 98 and take a screenshot of that area. If there is any sensitive info, such as passwords or email addresses, be sure to use an editing tool to blur them out.

I think what @cpradio meant was to go back into your app.yml file as per above
