I am trying to install a new discourse instance on a new root server with Ubuntu 22.04
Our “old” server crashed today with major hardware failure so our hosting provider had to setup a new server. (I do have the discourse backup file from last night that I wanted then to reload into the newly setup instance.)
I am following these steps:
But the installation fails with the following error:
x86_64 arch detected. Ensuring launcher is up to date Fordere an von origin Launcher is up-to-date 2.0.20220720-0049: Pulling from discourse/base Digest: sha256:7ff397003c78b64c9131726756014710e2e67568fbc88daad846d2b368a02364 Status: Image is up to date for discourse/base:2.0.20220720-0049 docker.io/discourse/base:2.0.20220720-0049 exec /usr/local/bin/gem: exec format error cd /pups && git pull && git checkout v1.0.3 && /pups/bin/pups --stdin fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git bootstrap failed with exit code 128 ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one. ./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem. But already the start of discourse-setup does show several errors.
Looks like the script is not working correctly with the German version of the Ubuntu operating system.
The errors are the lines with $avail_mem and that is because the memory cannot be determined.
Your script is looking for Mem: but in the German Ubuntu it is Speicher: when free -m --si is executed.
Same with Swap: which is Auslager: in the German version.
I have not seen any hint, that the OS has to be the English version in order to install Discourse.
