You have Apache running, so Discourse can’t use ports 80 or 443.

You usually get a different error than that, which suggests that this might not be the VM that you’re trying to install Discourse on.

Hey don’t apologise, Jay. That’s a useful insight in any case. I will try to remember that one

Sorry to disappoint but nothing is free in this world as they will still charge you up to three dollars every day for things such as block storage and storage which I contacted support about and they said nothing is free in Oracle, so go with Digital Ocean.

More than 6 months, but less than a year, I’d say. Only a very basic, and low-powered server is available for free.

When you create a server, make sure that every selected option is “Always Free Eligible”.
Example:

I have had it and even support said it’s not free so I’m a bit confused.
But anyways - I setup a sandbox discourse forum for 40 dollars for my 100 dollar trial on Digital Ocean so that’s fine.

Discourse will run fine in a $5 DigitalOcean droplet. Don’t use their one-click installation.

You aren’t really telling us anything useful for us to be able to help you.
The free tier has 1GB of RAM which is adequate, is that what you’re installing on?

Yea, i’m using free tier:
But check on cli is not 1GB:
Don’t know why.

Seems strange as when using Digital Ocean it’s telling me it requires 2.
1 „Gefällt mir“
No; I haven’t paid anything as I deleted my instances but free credits were taken off of my account and this shouldn’t of happened.

It will enable swap on a 1GB server, but either way you need 1GB of RAM.

Yep! Seems to be working now, https://discourse.work is online.
