Installation failed | Failed to created database stations

[MrSteelMiner]

Hello guys, I tried to install AzuraCast to a server behind a corporate http-proxy, so I configured apt, docker and curl to use this proxy, but I was not able to install. Not in docker-mode and not in ansible too (with the same error message)

Information about the system: ESXi 6.7U3 Host VM has Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS installed (AMD64)

btw: the solution in e.g. this thread: https://github.com/AzuraCast/AzuraCast/issues/2035#issuecomment-538614518 does not resolve it.

/var/azuracast/www# ./install.sh

with CentOS 7 as VM-OS, I got the same error... I think, the corporate proxy is the problem... Any advises?

Does it have permission to write databases?

[MrSteelMiner]

I think so. It's a blank/default install.

[BusterNeece]

@MrSteelMiner This is very bizarre, because the connection between the web application and influxdb is governed by Docker itself and is entirely internal to Docker (or, if you're on Ansible, it's entirely a localhost connection). Nothing outside the server should be interfering with that, unless you've set up iptables rules in such a way that it ends up actually blocking the influxdb connection by accident.

[MrSteelMiner]

You're right, it IS very bizarre...

I will check it tomorrow, but i think in the default installation of CentOS 8 and Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS the iptables are not set by default.

@SlvrEagle23 is the database-initialising-process accessing/downloading some external ressources from the internet like .sql-files? If yes, there could be the problem. As said, there is a corporate proxy between the ac-installation and the internet.

[BusterNeece]

@MrSteelMiner Nope, once you're at the Setup step where the database migrations are running (including the InfluxDB migration), there are no external requests being made. The only requests are going back and forth between AzuraCast and its local dependencies (the database and influxdb containers).

[MrSteelMiner]

Okay, I've set up a working docker-installation on a KVM-vm on a proxmox host. Then I cloned / converted it to ESXi which is the hypervisor in my company. The cloned AzuraCast installation is not working after migration to ESXi. It seems that ESXi-vms are not compatible with docker. So the problem is not AzuraCast, it's ESXi...
