Presume you mean Discourse not Discord? Only standard install is supported here. Issues with bitnami would have to be sorted out with them.

How do I deploy it on portainer though. A touch new but i’ve managed to get linode and portainer and nginex proxy manager setup. Looking to install containers for apps that’ll hold subdomains for our marketplace We’ll be using discourse for our commuity I used this totorial I used: https://youtu.be/7oUjfsaR0NU

Searching “Portainer” on here reveals a few posts. (It is advised to use search before posting) This might help: Installing Discourse using Portainer - #5 by pfaffman

As @merefield already mentioned, those third party installations are totally unsupported here. On the off-chance that you will want any help in the future I would strongly recommend you follow the standard install.

[image] merefield: Presume you mean Discourse not Discord? just found this looks like its old, apologies for adding a topic related to this when i see lots of people had problems. Hoping their forum had helped you out? I am looking to do the same. basically and want to test it on a docker container first.

if you want to install Discourse for Production use: standard install (meant for VPS) if you want instead to play locally consider Install Discourse for development using Docker NB standard install is docker based but uses bespoke launcher.
