Thanks for all of these tips. Sharing these sorts of learnings is very helpful.
I installed Discourse via DO’s 1-click app a while ago. Everything works very well so far, but I am now reading a few different topics that suggest the one-click app is not supported by the meta community. I was under the impression, mistakenly apparently, that the 1-click app thing was a Discourse ‘product’ (for lack of a better term).
I also read in the basic Discourse install instructions that if we use those instructions and install via the recommended Docker install (which is what I thought DO’s one click app was doing) then nginx was already configured. I would really like to have nginx configured but do not know if it is because I installed via the 1-click app.
My site is still in development. Is it worth creating a new droplet and installing ‘manually’ via the guide and then redoing all my settings etc. or is the DO 1-click app procedure OK? I am careful to always install the updates that Discourse tells me are available and they always seem to work (once Docker is updated).
