someone try to setup press and create tls, proxy server,.. on localhost ? im try alot always the proxy server broken Unable to start service nginx: Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status nginx.service” and “journalctl -xeu nginx.service” for details. and sometime tls error
please if someone have any idea
Yes I have setup in local server. (only press, not f,n,m servers).
There will be errors, plenty of them.
If you post exact error here, we could help.
Hi, i’ve the same problem like this user here https://discuss.frappe.io/t/guide-installing-press-and-get-it-up-and-running-part-1/152576/17
I’ve 4 VMs, all running, in the terminal of the press server i can do a ssh login to the another server like here descripted (ssh root@n1.domain.tld and also with ssh root@public-ip).
but when i run the server setup for the proxy i got a broken error and in the ansible job the response unreachable, but no further informations.
are there further informations for debugging? or what can be the reason for not connecting?
A lot of things could break. Press is not a simple application. One of the issues could be permissions in ssh or docker or ownership issues, userid issues, or connection issues, firewall issues.
The solution is to go through every possible checks to identify the problem.
If you follow the guide line by line, you will not face problems.
hi, thanks for the answer.
where can i find some informations about the connection for example?
Further: Firewall issuses - Any informations about port forwarding?
you will not find any document related to press installation except a few posts here. you have to do that your self or find a paid help. Also it not sure if the issue is port/firewall. You have to debug.
hi @anupd I am facing issue in Press Deploy Candidate Failing – Git “dubious ownership” issue inside Press Build (Ubuntu 22)
I am facing a persistent issue when deploying a candidate using Frappe Press.
The build always fails at Install Apps → Frappe with this error:
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/home/frappe/context/apps/frappe/.git'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /home/frappe/context/apps/frappe/.git
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
This happens during:
bench init --python /usr/bin/python3.11 --no-backups --frappe-path file:///home/frappe/context/apps/frappe frappe-bench
The full build log shows:
[stage-0 20/27] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/home/frappe/.cache ...
--mount=type=bind,source=apps/frappe,target=/home/frappe/context/apps/frappe
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/home/frappe/context/apps/frappe/.git'

How do I fix it please help @anupd
I have an oci server wanted to use that for press and setup multiple sites and benchs how to do that there is no guide for OCI
Start by provisioning three servers: one each for proxy, app, and database. Configure DNS with wildcard and direct A records pointing to the proxy. SSH into the servers and use the Press UI to register and setup each server via “Setup Server”, which runs Ansible tasks. Once infra is active, add your bench via a Deploy Candidate, and you can create multiple sites from the dashboard. The agent handles provisioning and orchestration behind the scenes.
Follow the above guide. It works for all kind of servers.
Thank you for sharing the detailed documentation related to Press.
Could you please assist me with the following issue?
I have completed all the steps as mentioned up to the Root Domain addition. However, after adding the Root Domain, I am encountering a TLS certificate error. Please note that I have already created all the required directories as specified in the documentation and have also installed Certbot.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-dev python3-venv libaugeas-dev gcc
sudo apt-get remove certbot
sudo python3 -m venv /opt/certbot/
sudo /opt/certbot/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
sudo /opt/certbot/bin/pip install certbot certbot-nginx
sudo ln -s /opt/certbot/bin/certbot /usr/local/bin/certbot
sudo /opt/certbot/bin/pip install certbot-dns-route53
I faced same issue and after following Certbot documentation and these commands worked form me on Ubuntu 24.04
Thanks ! It worked for me
Great guide!

when I check the apps tab on the release group, I see these errors :
And on each one of the apps, it shows this error on the App source:
{"message":"API rate limit exceeded for 11.22.33.44 (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting"}
I tried getting ssh to automatically authenticate to github with a new ssh key, but it didin’t help, even though I am able to ssh from the shell on the press server….
I’ve been scratching my head over this for too long now 
Thank you again
@anupd Could you please let me know where the second part is? Should we wait for the release?
Has anyone else faced this issue? The build is getting stuck at this step, as shown in the screenshot.
not written yet.
check error logs. its mostly some build errors
I am installing this for the first time. Could you please advise which logs I should normally check during the installation and setup process?
It would be great for us to get the part 2
