Unable to install Discourse: module aufs not found

When i do wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

The very next line says modprobe: FATAL: Module aufs not found.

But the installation continues, but after doing “./launcher bootstrap app” and “./launcher start app” i get fatal errors.

I am following the OFFICIAL install guide steps on a standard ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Whatsup?

(PS - my email SMTP credentials are correct)

Docker is not installing properly. Until docker is installed properly nothing will work.

this one is on OVH.
I don’t understand, if it is a standard Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, what could be different?

OK…

This is the 4th time i tried to install, after trying the “fix” in the thread provided by @Falco which is

sudo apt-get install lxc wget bsdtar curl
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)
sudo modprobe aufs

I still get the error:

** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one

It says the domain is not configured in the error you posted. Make sure docker info shows aufs as the filesystem and docker version is correct.

That looks fine now. Read the error. Your domain is not configured in app.yml

When i do a nano containers/app.yml , it opens a new file now? Wut? What is this now? — this was my stupidity.

Here is my domain in my app.yml

DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: 'discourse.example.com'

You are expected to change example.com to the domain you bought.

The instruction —

Set DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME to discourse.example.com, this means you want your Discourse available at http://discourse.example.com/. You’ll need to update the DNS A record for this domain with the IP address of your server.

I really think that you should specify it more clearly there.

And i changed discourse.example.com to mydomain.com, not just example.com

It is working fine now…
Thanks.

For the record, you automatically get a domain like vps12345678.ovh.net with all OVH VPSs, it turned out to be useful for testing.
