Hi guys. I am seeing, getting something which is - hopefully not only in my opinion - verryyy! weird. I have two discourse containers which seemingly deployed & work a ok. Those two sites - in the browsers at least - seem to interfere with each other. I login to Asite and see bits, such as categ…

Ah.. yes, these both discourse-containers talk to the same one, outside-of-container Redis. Is there a doc(s) - if such deployment/setup is possible that is - with guidelines for multiple Discourses with/to single Redis?

They each need their own redis. I don’t remember, or fully understand the particulars, but discourse uses some feature that requires each site to have its own redis. An easy (and cheap) solution would be to include the redis template in your web_only container.

Two Discourses - in containers - interfere with each other?
