Minds Installer Broken
The installer is totally useless when it (and the documentation) is incomplete and/or wrong.
Following the documentation site word for word, the installation just does not work.
Pretty substantial steps are nowhere to be found and ones that ARE in the instructions haven't been valid FOR MONTHS.
That settings.php file the documentation instructs us to configure? The installation process doesn't even generate a settings.php file anymore. There's a sample php file, but there isn't a single line of instruction telling us what to do with any of the existing data.
I assume we're supposed to replace entries, but which ones? What do we replace it with? Where does THAT information come from?
I really can't believe a streamlined installation package takes 3-4 years to complete. I've been asking for nearly two years now. You're not building the platform from scratch. It's already up and running.
It's a simple issue of resource allocation, and everyone can see what the focus is. Minds Plus. Minds Pro. Minds For Your Domain. Business Minds Platinum Plus Pro.

Hey @thedanetidwell, how's it going? I appreciate how it looks, happy to help with any issues you have though. Right now is the worst possible moment to try to install the Minds stack! We're in the middle of a switch to Server-side rendering which is HUGE for SEO ratings and improves load speed significantly.
This has required some very low-level changes to the development environment. We should have this merged in today, and I would be very interested in getting to the bottom of the issues you're having if they remain following that.
mentioned in issue front#2510
added scoped label
From front#2510 I tried installing the latest version available on gitlab, on my windows localhost. Currently getting this error when i do
docker-compose down
build path E:\MindsFeb\minds\front\dist either does not exist, is not accessible, or is not a valid URL.
It seems to work fine for the older branch(oct-2019) that I was previously using. I also tried downgrading my docker-compose version to 1.17 (from 1.24), to no effect. I also couldn't find any issue similar to mine in gitlab. Is it a problem with docker windows and the latest minds version specifically ?
Edited by Narayanan KAI forgot about that one. All three of those steps error. Azure VM running Ubuntu 18 here.

Hey, nope there should be no changes necessary for docker, checking my docker-compose its at 2.2.
docker-compose up -d nginx runners sockets
is how I usually spin up the stack the stackFor the front right now I'm checking out front!756, pulling in master and adding
"serve:dev:nr": "ng serve --host=0.0.0.0 --deploy-url=/ --hmr=false --live-reload=false --poll=800 --progress --disableHostCheck=true --proxy-config proxy.conf.js",
into the package JSON.Then accessing directly on port 4200.
We're going to be fixing these installer issues in this card below: #1065 (closed)
