Unable to install theme from git

[petermakowski]

Bug Description

It doesn’t seem currently possible to install themes from git due to 500 errors.

To Reproduce

1. Go to MAAS Discourse admin panel.
2. Navigate to Customize > Themes.
3. Click the "Install" button.
4. Select "From a Git repository" and paste https://github.com/canonical/maas-discourse-theme.
5. Click "Install".

Environment

https://discourse.maas.io/

Relevant log output

https://discourse.maas.io/admin/themes/import

Request Method:

POST

Status Code:

500 Internal Server Error

Additional context

The same error happens when installing a stock theme (which should exclude this being caused by any issues with our maas discourse theme) https://github.com/discourse/material-design-stock-theme

FYI: I think the instance does not have access to the web in general. I noticed timeout errors for version checks in the logs as well. That said it might not be an issue of the charm but of the network/firewall config of our hosted instance.

We will have a look at this, I know right now we're bundling plugins in the container, though for themes you should be able to install them and that should have to be a networking issue. Will post an update.

Closing this since I confirmed that this is a connectivity issue.
