Is there any way do run discourse on Replit?

Iv’e wanted to host discourse on Replit, mostly because I want to see how all the admin controls and stuff like that work before I put it on my computer.

I doubt it. You don’t want to install it on your computer. You want to install it on something like a digital ocean droplet. Digital ocean and mailgun are the easiest way to get it set up.

This has been asked before and my response was this: [image] Is it possible to host discourse on replit Self-hosting Even if that were to work (and I doubt it?), it would be an expensive solution. The ‘Hacker’ level (which has insufficient storage) is already $7 a month which is more than a basic VPS from a leading alternative. Why bother?

If you want to just look at it set up a local #dev-install. But as @pfaffman says, this is not suitable for Production when you introduce other users.

It seems like it might work. NodeBB works, so maybe?

I managed to get Discourse running on Replit (with multiple concurrent users), but the new egress limits make it far too expensive (it uses over 10gb of egress per day)

As a replit user, I can attest it’s definitely possible but not feasible

Luckily, egress should reset May 1st, meaning that you can run it again soon (for like a day).

[image] 9pfs: uses over 10gb of egress per day For calibration, my modest forum (80 actives per week, 120 actives per month) serves about 40G in a month, 20G of which is cached by my CDN (Cloudflare.) A load of the front page seems to be 12 MByte. It’s possible that a non-standard setup will somehow allow for less client caching and so with clients fetching more your data transfers will be greater.
