I have a dedicated server that runs my website using Nginx. I am trying to follow the linked guide([discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)), but once I run ./discourse-setup command, it stopped and displayed a message that guides me to a link([Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247)), but in this link, it is stated that I need to edit my app.yml file, but it is not exist, because setup command failed to start.
