I’ve just succeeded in installing Discourse (on an aarch64 Oracle Cloud server). After some difficulties, it works. I got the email confirming my registration as the admin for my site, and the site is set up now. I have a couple of important early issues, though. First, I sent out a couple of invit…

[image] spamless: [image] pfaffman: Ah, so perhaps redis gets its language set on just the first run. You might delete the redis directory and rebuild, you shouldn’t lose much if it’s a new community. Redis isn’t backed up when you do a backup (to give you an idea that it won’t matter much) …

Postscript to say I did finally notice the link to Sidekiq info down in the bottom panel of the admin page. The text and links on the banner down there is hard to notice because it’s anthracite grey on a black border. :slightly_smiling_face: I presume I’ll be able to get to the settings at config/si…

[image] spamless: Sidekiq’s admin panel is in German. How far have you strayed from a standard install ? Are you using an external redis?

I tried to follow the standard installation instructions closely. No external redistribution; I didn’t know there were such. :slight_smile: The mail issue seems to be solved now. The language issue with Sidekiq probably remains. But I am tired this morning and so far I can’t even find how I got to …

My guess is that there is an environment setting that specifies German in the host os and that’s getting recognized by sidekiq somehow… Maybe try something like set| grep -i de And look for something that is setting the locale to German. Then you’d fix it in… Somewhere. I think there’s already …

Good idea, but there’s nothing there: root@discourse:/var/discourse# set | egrep -iw '(en|de)' root@discourse:/var/discourse# env | egrep -iw '(en|de)' root@discourse:/var/discourse# The app.yml file is set with US English. [In my screenshot, “Fehlgeschlagen” means “errors.” The number is high be…

I might as well post a big part of how I solved my problem with email sent through Dreamhost. I added a line to the email area of app.yml: DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: login [image]

[image] spamless: The server is in Germany But are you running all this within a Docker environment? The server location should not matter.

Yes. I had never heard of Sidekiq before yesterday. And I had never heard of Discourse before last Friday! :slight_smile: When I heard about Discourse, I knew I wanted to try to get it going on a server. And I went and got the server! As best I could, I followed the recommended instructions. I had a…
