Forem Selfhost Successfully Deployed to DigitalOcean But Refuse to Connect Due to Internal Bugs

So, I successfully deployed Forem on DigitalOcean using the Selfhost Guide, but refused to connect due to an internal bug. While troubleshooting, I discovered that some Forem containers were not running. It seems a bug is causing the forem-rails.service auto-start.

A similar case was reported here, but there has been no positive feedback and/or resolution till date.

Note: I have deployed Selfhost to DigitalOcean on multiple occasions over the years, and it usually went well. I guess this error is due to the latest updates in Forem core.
