VPS Installation Failures: Navigating Through Discourse Setup Hurdles

Installation

Hello!
I now have the same exact issue when installing on a fresh VPS. Tried Debian 12, AlmaLinux, no dice.

Use Ubuntu for VPS

Okay, will try that! Thanks for the recommendation!

Nope, three different systems and can’t install it. :man_facepalming: Also with Ubuntu

Can you paste the whole rebuild log here?

It’s not the same exact issue as that topic was about ARM64 and you are running in a classic x64 CPU.

URI::InvalidURIError: URI must be ascii only “https://au\u0123iks.lv/images/discourse-logo-sketch.png” (URI::InvalidURIError)

What did you enter for your forum URL? URLs can only be ASCII and it looks like you entered a Unicode character? Do you have a punycode domain?

Yes, this was a Punnycode domain. I didn’t think about that, my mistake.
Thanks for help, won’t bother again! :man_facepalming:

Using the encoded punycode values should work out of the box. Let me know if that works for you.
