Restore failing on new bitnami instance

campey · April 25, 2025, 11:30am

Hi there,

I created a new instance using Discourse(R) packaged by Bitnami

It is up and running which is super great. However, following Create, download, and restore a backup of your Discourse database, I did a backup from my current starter instance on .discourse.group but when I try to restore, it just takes me to the logs tab, saying “No logs yet…”

Digging deeper into the error logs I found the error log line

Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - bundle) lib/backup_restore.rb:196:in `spawn' lib/backup_restore.rb:196:in `spawn_process!' lib/backup_restore.rb:20:in `restore!' app/controllers/admin/backu

With the info:

Any ideas what could be going wrong here?

So you should ask them for help. If you want help here you (mostly) need to do a standard install.

But also, Discourse requires https with a valid certificate. It won’t work on an IP address. It’s possible if you fix that your install will work.

hi @campey welcome to Discourse Meta. unfortunately we do not support bitnami installs.

campey · May 8, 2025, 3:09pm

Thanks, @pfaffman and @Lilly, I guess I’ll be reinstalling then, following the instructions, at some point.

Thanks for the tip on the cert @pfaffman, but if it is going to be unsupported, then maybe not worth getting it working.

Meantime I’ll be on the .discourse.group hosting, shaking my fist at the cloud as to why something like slack integration needs to be at such an expensive tier.
