Hello Discourse family,
Maybe this is an unusual way, but I ran a server with Hetzner and discovered Discourse, which I planned to use after upgrading my server from cax11 to cax21 64x (4 cores, 8gb). I used the official tutorial to install N8N with Caddy and everything went smoothly.
However, when trying to install Discourse, I encountered some problems. Despite searching for solutions since yesterday, I have been unable to get it running.
I came across this thread about Caddy where they suggested using unix:/sock/nginx.http.sock or the port method, but neither option worked for me.
Here are my last settings:
I copied the standalone file and edited it as follows in /git/discourse/containers/app.yml
templates:
- templates/postgres.template.yml
- templates/redis.template.yml
- templates/web.template.yml
- templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml
- templates/web.socketed.template.yml

Docker PS status:
“If no one catches my issue, I’m thinking of removing the whole server and reinstalling it from the beginning. I just want to make sure that both n8n and Docker work properly. Please guide me to the right documentation if you know of any that can help with this.”
