Hi,

I used a Ubuntu Minimal Server, and UFW is not installed by default, so this script is failing.
Maybe you need to add UFW on line 14 as well?
Just a suggestion :-)

Another thing i had to do, is making root owner of the /

chown root:root /

On my Ubuntu Server 22.04 minimal i also had to add the -e argument togeter with the var: MAIN_NODE_IP_ADDRESS > but this is typical when you run it locally

install CapRover

docker run -e MAIN_NODE_IP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 3000:3000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /captain:/captain caprover/caprover

This gist is working for the standard setup. I guess for the minimal server setup or other customized setup, the steps could be slightly different accordingly. Your suggestions may work for you but not for other customizations, so I will only provide a tested standard way for the default setup.
