It’s just a warning. If you rebuild the container, does it work? You also might not be able to access the public IP from the computer itself since (given the hostname) it looks like it’s a NATted IP. ---

Apache is using the ports isn’t it? ---

Apache is using port 80 i guess i dont know much about it. I was just following these steps [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) ---

Can this be the problem it says port 443 is closed. ![Screenshot (14)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/2/1/211b0268f59a0a3831cb658665ffa8a559ccb14d.jpeg) ---

If you have no use for it (might be there by default) you should remove it and then be able to follow the usual steps in the link ---

Discourse doesn’t require Apache. Disable or uninstall it, then reboot. At that point Discourse will have access to the necessary ports. ---

Make sure Apache is disabled or uninstalled, otherwise the next time your server is rebooted Discourse will be blocked from accessing the port again. ---
