I’m a developer but I’m not very familiar with the “forum/community” field. I would like to learn all about it. I decided to create a forum which will have the label “Math, CS and Physics” (Does not really matter). I found Discourse and it looks amazing. After some reading, I understood that in order to install Discourse, I have to buy a VPS. I don’t mind to spend some bucks on great things like that, but before doing it I’m trying to make a little research about them. I was wondering if there is a proper guide of how to install Discourse on a VPS (like Amazon or Cloudsigma) that I could use. I saw the guide on Github but as I understand it talks about installing Discourse on local server. Just feeling a bit lost and hope someone can point me to the right direction. If someone has some time to spend on me, I would be more then glad to have a PM from you! Thank you for your patience.
