Hey, the problem you are facing here is because of the non-configuration of DATABASE_URL properly.

I'm updating this article again. Until you see a clear indication at the top of the post saying Updated with 2021, consider it work under progress.

Meanwhile, you can have a quick peek at where this is going. I'm actively updating this article rather than in passive mode.

Thank. Your tutorial work well. But after i add domain

APP_DOMAIN="domain.com"
APP_PROTOCOL="https://"

then my forum only can open with domain.com:3000. Any way i can remove port 3000 and change http to https

Akhil Naidu • Sep 14 '21

A much better option would be, for development.

Use nginx as a reverse proxy for port 3000.

Nguyễn Trung Kien • Sep 14 '21

Thanks a lot. Now i get a new one when i try to login with social acc call: ActionController:: InvalidAuthenticityToken

Nguyễn Trung Kien • Sep 14 '21

i Follow this one, My Forem open success but i get ActionController:: InvalidAuthenticityToken everytime i try to login.

Nguyễn Trung Kien • Sep 14 '21

Can i fix it with some step?

Akhil Naidu • Sep 15 '21

Hey, if you are interested in hosting Forem in production. This is not the preferred way.

I'm actually working on a project to help Forem selfhosters. If you are interested, I can provide you access to the pre-release version.

Nguyễn Trung Kien • Sep 15 '21

thank a lot, please add me with email ntkien2192@gmail.com

Akhil Naidu • Sep 15 '21

I will create an account for you and will let you know, once it is done. We are few days behind to release v0.3

Nguyễn Trung Kien • Sep 15 '21

thanks

Could you describe a little bit about production configuration?
Thanks!

I am not able to login using my Github account or neither sign up. It is showing an error and I am stuck with it. What to do?

Tri Ân • Jun 17 '21

I'm not sure how and how about Now open 3 Terminal, the three boxes below indicate 3 different terminals paragraph

Akhil Naidu • Jun 18 '21

Hello, yes it means that.

But if you are following this post, there is no need for you to configure anything related to elastic search. Forem removed the need of it.

You can follow my posts over here for updated content: forem.dev/akhil/series
