I couldn't find any problem in your aws.yml file. However, the problem might be in the setup.yml file. There should be a misspelling.

You can follow this path to catch the error:

  1. Use the original aws.yml file first. If everything is OK, the error is in this file.
  2. Otherwise, the problem is probably in the setup.yml file; examine it. Vault secrets, domain names, or other settings might be wrong.
  3. If you wouldn't be able to find any problem within setup.yml, think if you have changed anything else. Follow the changes.

Hi Muhammed Cetin
I tried the used original aws.yml file but still getting the same error.

I am using ubuntu to deploy forem. According the the docs, i need to install butane, but not able to install butane in ubuntu. Is there any way to install it or other ways to delploy with production settings?

I tried the development version of the forem by installing ruby and other packages locally, it worked fine and was able to run it successfully.

Please do advice the process to deploy forem from ubuntu is different or do i need to stick to the developer documentation.

Was able to fix those errors after updating the aws.yml and referred this while updating - docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/co...
