Solved Pleroma doesn't listen on any port

[tinfoil-hat]

Hi,

I installed Pleroma on a LXC Container inside a Proxmox VPS. I installed it on Debian using these instructions:
https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/installation/debian_based_en/

I want to run it inside the LXC and connect to it via nginx reverse proxy on Proxmox host, which is public. That's the reason I want it to listen on 0.0.0.0

As you can see, it's running

root@pleroma:/opt/pleroma# systemctl status pleroma

I also made sure, I used

sudo -Hu pleroma mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}

like it says in the Documentation

It should be listening on 0.0.0.0 port 4000

less config/prod.secret.exs

# Pleroma instance configuration

# NOTE: This file should not be committed to a repo or otherwise made public
# without removing sensitive information.

import Config

config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint,
   url: [host: "domain.tld", scheme: "https", port: 443],
   http: [ip: {0, 0, 0, 0}, port: 4000],
.
.
.

There is no pleroma listening on any port ... strange

Make check the application log file or container log information?

 

[tinfoil-hat]

it seems like the postgres migration did fail to one of these options

Would you like to use RUM indices? [y]
Do you want to deduplicate uploaded files? (y/n) [y]

I started over, this time I answered with No.

This time Pleroma starts, but the pages are blank. I used the nginx config from Pleroma documentation. It seems to load something, but it's a blank page either with Port or with Ip nor with Domain, like Pic related

Logs are clean this time.

I would ask in the pleroma official support channel.

Got it to work, It serached for a HTTPS connection, after running certbot the Issue is resolved, thanks for your effort

So it was looking for your ssl certificates because you configured it to use https, but because those weren't there it wouldn't start listening on that port or something like that? Then after you setup the ssl certificates with cerbot it was able to do that?
