how make discourse on pc for free no downloading anything

There is no way to have your own Discourse instance for free. You will have to buy either hardware to run it on or rent it from somewhere.

You can use a cloud provider though, most give you a few hundred dollars in credit for free, there are some downsides and limits to that though

[image] Falco: There is no way to have your own Discourse instance for free. Hey @JammyDodger. We really need to have FAQ for this. Maybe with an auto link to something like “free hosting”, so we could say “See the free hosting faq”.

i am on a very tight budget i can only spend about 1 dollar

Do you have a credit card? If so, I recommend DigitalOcean. It costs nothing and it works well with Discourse, although you need to buy a domain. I recommend Namecheap, or if you have no money to spend on a domain freenom. Then use Cloudflare’s Free plan, and hook it up to your DigitalOcean server and it should work!
