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
No matter if we follow the exact documentation, again and again, we get this message every time we try to launch. Any help?
root@iLoveJesusChrist:/var/discourse# ./launcher start app starting up existing container
- /usr/bin/docker start app Error response from daemon: Cannot start container app: Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: bind: address already in use FATA[0000] Error: failed to start one or more containers
Yes, see this tutorial I put up finally having 100% success. http://diytechytutorials.blogspot.com/2015/03/setup-discourse-on-digital-ocean.html
