Does anyone have a ‘tried and tested’ set of instructions of how to install Discourse on a Plesk server? My Plesk Server has a Docker option, would that help? (see image) [Plesk] Thanks in advance.

[image] Installing Discourse With Plesk Onyx (Ubuntu 14.04) Self-hosting Install Discourse on Plesk Onyx is simple! Lie, I’ve been trying for two days until it works. Update: This method will works with Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and Debian only. First install Docker on Plesk Extensions. play_button Install Docker Now install Redis and Nginx containers play_button Redis & Nginx Go to discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub and follow this steps, starting on Install Discourse Note: I forgot a detail. Before perform ./discourse-setup, you need edit discourse-se… Note that this kind of installation is not supported so if you have trouble you are on your own. You can always ask for help here, but it is not said that you receive it.

Daniela. Thanks for replying, it’s appreciated. Yes, I’ve already read that thread, it was very fragmented and seemed fraught with frustration. I will try setting it up on a test server just in case I make a mess of it. Which of these many Docker images is the best one to use? (see image) [Plesk%20Docker] Thanks.

OK thanks, I will report back my findings for the benefit of others.

[image] LordLiverpool: it was very fragmented and seemed fraught with frustration. And that is what you can expect as you do the same. [image] LordLiverpool: Which of these many Docker images is the best one to use? The one that you build yourself with launcher.

Would it not be in Discourse’s own self-interests to release fully tested, comprehensive installation instructions for all the main platforms? e.g. cPanel, Plesk, AWS Lightsail etc, The more active installations the better. Unless the only money they make is from installation fees?

[image] LordLiverpool: Would it not be in Discourse’s own self-interests to release fully tested, comprehensive installation instructions for all the main platforms? e.g. cPanel, Plesk, AWS Lightsail etc, The more active installations the better. It would not. They provide exactly one way to install Discourse and it works for people who know nothing about system administration. If you want to do it any other way, you are mostly on your own. Installing with Plesk (or cPanel) makes the job much, much, harder, and I suspect that not every Plesk is the same across providers, so even supporting that would be very difficult. The last client that wanted me to do an installation with Plesk I bid an additional $500 and was relieved that they didn’t take me up on it. (Installing on Lightsail is a standard install and works just fine.) [image] LordLiverpool: Unless the only money they make is from installation fees? They make money only from hosting fees. For the past 3 years they have made no money from installations.

@itsbhanusharma Thanks for replying, it’s genuinely appreciated. [image] itsbhanusharma: Discourse should really be kept on it’s own server due to the nature of application So what I am trying to achieve is: A WordPress Website and a Discourse forum both installed on the same server. Ideally as a domain and a subdomain, respectively. I am just stating the obvious here, Bitnami offer: WordPress [image] Bitnami Secure Images - bitnami.com Confidence, control and visibility of your software supply chain security with production-ready open source software delivered continuously in hardened images Discourse Discourse(R) packaged by Bitnami - bitnami.com But not both together?!? A lost opportunity? I don’t really care about Plesk. What I am after is Discourse. If that means provisioning another machine, so be it. The official AWS AMI for Discourse is far too expensive at €49.24 p/m https:// aws.bitnami. com/vms/new?image_id=iL2LqoI (I added spaces to get around the 2 link, new user limit rule, remove to visit) It’s using, IMHO, an overpowered EC2 instance. I really like AWS Lightsail because it’s affordable. Could I install both WordPress & Discourse on a Lightsail instance?

@pfaffman Allow me to innoculate you against what I am not saying. I am not here to bash Discourse. I think its UI/UX is second to none. I understand Discourse needs to make money, otherwise, the development would cease. Docker abstracts away the SysAdmin, that’s only a good thing. I will keep grinding away for a solution that fits. Thanks for your help.

The provided instructions work fine on all the major VPS providers that don’t ship a *panel with their server.

Discourse should really be kept on it’s own server due to the nature of application.
