    Hi;

    Simply to report, probably a unique case, but just in case 😉

    Today I spin up a new Ubuntu 18.04LTS at Hetzner than launch the cloudron-setup which failed and not /var/log/cloudron-setup.log file has been created.

    I relaunched the installation script then went to a second terminal to tail the log to discover than the installation was failing simply because this file was missing /etc/default/motd-news

    I easily resolve the case with touch /etc/default/motd-news

    My point is, this might happen to someones else and this someone else might feel cloudron is not ready/mature simply because he/she is not able to install it.

    why the installation has to fail if the sed doesn't work on that file?
    at the end it is not really a big thing.

    would it be better to look if the file exist and if not simply create it ?
