I'm trying to convince my CEO to use the free version of Discourse

Thank you so much!

Could you just clarify the CDN or external fire storage?

Does the forum installation require a running machine or just a storage device, like S3 by Amazon?

Could I theoretically install it on one of the employee’s laptops, and he wouldn’t need to worry about this, as long as he doesn’t turn off the laptop? Should it be installed on a Raspberry or a laptop, and keep running all the time?

I’ve read that a “domain” is needed. So does it add some costs, or is it included within a local network?
