Init script failed on Ubuntu 20.04 on Tencent Cloud

[daguji]

Hi, I got this error on Tencent Cloud with Ubuntu 20.04, with a fresh server and a fresh server after command apt update apt upgrade. Both have the same error.

=> Updating apt and installing script dependencies
=> Checking version
=> Downloading version 7.0.1 ...
=> Installing base dependencies and downloading docker images (this takes some time) ...Init script failed. See /var/log/cloudron-setup.log for details

@daguji What does python --version print ? It should print Python 2.7.18 on ubuntu 20.04

[daguji]

@girish The version is Python 3.8.10, then how do I fix this?

[nebulon]

@daguji looks like the apt upgrade pulled in python 3 then. Can you reset the server and not run anything besides the Cloudron setup? The setup script will pull in any security updates and the exact package versions Cloudron expects.

@nebulon Thanks. I have solved this issue. The initial python version is 3.8, after switching to Python 2.7 the issue was solved.
