Hi, please comment on gist on github. I am not the author. I just share public information that helped me. Mine setup went well. I recommend running one command at a time manually. That way you can debug it and learn how it works.

Humm, not totally sure what’s going on here although the messages about postgresql already being installed suggest that the script was run on a machine that was already in use for other things. I wrote the original script that this was based on was meant to be run on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install.

In other words, boot from an Ubuntu Server install disk to a blank machine or VM; accept all the defaults, then download and run the script, follow the post-install instructions about rebooting and updating the scripts from the readme and you should end up with a working GVM instance that you can access with a web browser pointed at the IP address of the machine (i.e., https://“ip-address-of-machine”).

kev.
