And how much are you paying a month? There have been some threads about Discourse hosting recently and I’m curious as to where people are hosting Discourse and what kind of options there are.

There’s plenty of options and it depends on what you’re after. I started off trying to get Discourse to work on cheap OpenVZ, failed at that, moved to OVH cloud (running ESXI virtualization). After this I built my own esxi rig and started a lot of different experiments. I ended up coming back to the…

Sorry should have said I already have Discourse set up (on a dedicated server that also hosts other sites) but am interested in how others are using it (and I guess, why more aren’t getting a dedicated server).

No worries. To address the dedicated bit, I’d assume funds would be the main limiting factor, and then if you’re referring to self-hosting, the potential traffic/bandwidth issue. There’s fairly cheap dedi’s from OVH’s kimsufi. I had a KS-3 for a few months that worked out okay. You’d also be dealing…

That’s why I was interested in price - as dedicated servers have come down a lot recently… maybe not as expensive as people think. You can get a dedi for about £60 a month these days (probably less if you shop around).

Prices start $6.99 here, but I wouldn’t recommend anyone seriously consider an atom to run Discourse. The KS-3 at $20.99 and 8GB is quite appealing, thou. Cheap dedicated server | Kimsufi by OVHcloud Rent an affordable dedicated server, powered by our global infrastructure. Unlimited t…

Plain old DigitalOcean Ubuntu machine here … and it’s exclusive for Discourse. Mostly went DO to get it closer in network toplogy than most of our other hardware and to reduce SPOF. If I were starting over I’d probably look seriously at CoreOS, and I’m also interested in seeing how https://sandstor…

I use an EX40 dedicated server from http://hetzner.de which for 49,- EUR per month is quite affordable. Since the server is running OpenVZ (from my pre-Docker eras) to enable easy hosting of different applications I first tried to run Docker inside an OpenVZ container. This works but uses much disk…

Nice :slight_smile: I used to have a EX40 but upgraded to a beefier server last year. How are you finding CentOS 6.6 with regards to Docker? (My docker container keeps losing internet.)

Since I do not run Docker on CentOS directly I have no experiene in this.

I have my own AWS instance I’m running discourse on. :smile:
