No matter if we follow the exact documentation, again and again, we get this message every time we try to launch. Any help?

I am running Discourse on a Digital Ocean Droplet ( http://forum.greenheartgames.com ). Installation is REALLY easy now they’ve switched to Docker for their preferred installation method. Just make sure to spin up a Droplet with enough RAM (2GB is recommended) and you should be up and running with your own Discourse installation in a matter of minutes. <br> <br>Here is the HowTo from their official Github Repo: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-digital-ocean.md

Haven’t used it; but at least one other user has suggested that D.O. implement Discourse for it’s Q&A section. If anyone has an opinion on the topic, you should vote, here: <a href=“http://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-ocean/suggestions/4274886-migrate-the-q-a-section-to-google-groups”>Migrate the Q&A section to …</a>.
