Hi there @mapal,

What you need to do after deploying the Discourse Droplet is to SSH to the Droplet and add the following details:

  • Email Address for the Discourse Admin Account
  • The hostname (domain or subdomain) you will use for Discourse
  • Details for the SMTP server your Discourse install will use to send email
  • Email Address to use if you wish to set up a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate

Once you’ve done that then you will be able to visit your domain name and see your Discourse installation.

If you have already done this, I would recommend checking if the Apache Docker container is running, you can do that by connecting to your server via SSH, and running this command:

  • sudo docker ps -a

If it is not running, I would recommend trying to start it and checking the logs.

To try and start the container run:

  • sudo docker start container_id_here

And then to check the logs run:

  • sudo docker logs container_id_here

Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Bobby

    thank about your reply, but I’m in trouble yet.

    I already typed this all.

    • Email Address for the Discourse Admin Account
    • The hostname (domain or subdomain) you will use for Discourse
    • Details for the SMTP server your Discourse install will use to send email
    • Email Address to use if you wish to set up a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate
    sudo docker ps -a

    This is my console’s output.

    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                 COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                      NAMES

    and I followed your codes all. 

    sudo docker start 225d49c57fd7

    output

    225d49c57fd7

    And this

    sudo docker logs 225d49c57fd7

    output (much longer than this code but most of it was reputation)

    nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/shared/ssl/forum.cultrobal.com.cer": PEM_read_bio_X509_AUX() failed (SSL: error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line:Expecting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE)

      Hi there @mapal,

      Actually the Docker container seems to be running correctly and it is listening on the correct port.

      Do you by any chance have a firewall on your Droplet which could be blocking the connections to port 80?

      Regards,
      Bobby

        my droplet’s firewalls are ssh, http, https
        (before there was only ssh)
        I made these just clicking “create firewall” -> “new rule” the end.

        after making firewalls, browsers’ error message became different.

        opening console, entered my domain first.
        this was my page’s context.

        Welcome to nginx!
        If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.

        For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
        Commercial support is available at nginx.com.

        Thank you for using nginx.

        refreshing my browser, this was browser’s context.

        ERRCONNECTIONREFUSED

        before was “ERRCONNECTIONTIMED_OUT”

        Can you access my domain at your computer? (maybe not)

        My domain is forum.cultrobal.com
