   Er @alex or @ahmad

   On running :

   cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx

   If I get

   cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx': No such file or directory

   What went wrong in the installation? I understand that it means the directory does not exist but when I manually created it and did a forced

   ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx

   I get a 502 Bad Gateway error. Is there a quick way to resolve this or do I need to start the installation all over again?

   I also ran the replace example.tld step using

   nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx

     @ahmad @alex I recall Alex(?) say that he didn’t have a very good experience with them. Or was it some hosting company in a Scandanavian country.

     Anyhow. Reporting that I asked them to reformat the machine WITHOUT installing Hestia Cpanel. Installation went fine and all working now.

     @msilvya @ahmad Hetzner is cheap, but it wasn’t viable to host across the Atlantic. I bet you’d have a different experience.

     @ahmad @alex Cheap. That’s all. ?

     It’s not super-expensive so no worries there.

     @ahmad @alex This web hosting company I’m talking about does not provide a fresh box and installs certain components e.g. Web email etc to make your life ‘easy’. Just checking with them if there’s some clash between the pleroma.nginx file with some file lying around in the server. That’s all

     Why wouldn't you use a hosting company that provides a minimal system that you can use normally?
     Hetzner for example

     @ahmad @alex Have raised a ticket with the web hosting company as they have installed Hestia Cpanel. Just wondering if that is the root cause and is overriding the pleroma.nginx file (a guess).

     I don't really understand what's the issue.
     What exactly happen and what is it that you've opened a ticket about it?

     @ahmad @alex No. I’m talking about the prompt we get during the installation where it asks for IP address [localhost] and postgres password [autogenerated] etc

     You can use the auto generated which I prefer, or you can enter your own. Doesn't really matter.

     I think the "too many certificates" needs at least 3 certificates to be issued. 2 is fine.

     @ahmad @alex Oh. I did enter a password and didn’t rely on the autogenerated postgres password. Could that be the reason?

     i.e. the step where the installer asks What shall be your database password?

     No. copying files isn't related to passwords.
     Are we still talking about the file? Or there is something else?

     @ahmad @alex I however did get the certificate for this domain 21 hours ago and went about the installation again. Could that be the reason? However, the certbot installation step went smoothly with no too many certificates already issued errors.

     First of all, I’m very happy that my name is being mentioned next to Alex’s when asking about rebased/soapbox

     You’re a sysadmin. I trust you MORE than Alex ?

     Looks like you've already successfully made the cp command. You need to proceed with the next command.
