Hello! I’m a newcomer here trying to perhaps start a community with Discourse. I started my journey with the following How-To on installing Discourse with Digital Ocean: docs/INSTALL-cloud.md main # Install Discourse on a Cloud Server > To install and self-host Discourse, follow the steps below. But if you'd rather skip the setup, maintenance, and server management, our official Discourse hosting takes care of everything for you. > > [Learn more about Discourse hosting](https://discourse.org/pricing) > If you prefer to self-host but need help setting it up we have partners who can help. > [Click here to explore self-hosting set-up options](https://discourse.org/partners). **Set up Discourse in about 10 minutes** with zero knowledge of Rails or Linux shell. Works on any Docker-compatible cloud provider or local server. ## Contents - [Quick Start](#quick-start) - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Installation](#installation) - [The Setup Wizard](#the-setup-wizard) - [After Installation](#after-installation) - [Advanced Configuration](#advanced-configuration) - [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) This file has been truncated. show original I already had accounts with Cloudflare so it was natural for me to set up a domain there. After installing Discourse and making progress on setting things up, I hoped to adjust Cloudflare’s SSL/TLS to Full (Strict). I followed this How-To, which left me at a very basic position with Nginx: [תמונה] How To Host a Website Using Cloudflare and Nginx on Ubuntu 22.04 | DigitalOcean In this tutorial, you will secure a website served by Nginx with an Origin CA certificate from Cloudflare and configure Nginx to use authenticated pull reque… At this point I can turn on Full (Strict), and turned on Authenticated Origin Pulls. I just didn’t know how to have Nginx serve as a reverse proxy for Discourse from here. Sadly, I can tinker on command line to get myself this far, but I am not familiar with Nginx. I did make a few good faith efforts to amend the app file on Discourse to some other port such as 12345:80. From there I tried following other How-Tos which may not have been precisely for me: I got stuck. I couldn’t make the changes on my own to get the Reverse Proxy going so I uninstalled Nginx for the time being and dialled down Full (Strict) and Authenticated Pulls. Does anyone have any additional How-Tos or pointers?

I’m not sure if that’s a rhetorical question. I was trying to follow the recommendations laid out here under Best Practices. https://community.cloudflare.com/t/using-discourse-with-cloudflare-best-practices/602890 I’m new to Discourse and this installation. If there is a How-To for ensuring I can properly turn on Full (Strict), that’s what I am looking for. If there is no need for such a step, then I am open to reviewing anything else that I should do to follow “Best Practices” EDIT: After considering ljpp’s brief and insightful remark, I reviewed the Discourse installation instructions. I want to point out under the heading 11. (Optional) Add More Discourse Features, the How-To that I was looking for was under “Paid HTTPS / SSL support?” Once I followed those steps, I EASILY managed to turn on Full (Strict) and I am pleased with the results. I did not draw a connection that this was what I was looking for. I was accustomed to self-hosting projects as a hobbyist, and I am now enjoying the learning process for Discourse.

Why are you tinkering with Nginx, as the Discourse Docker installation, the default method, contains everything you need as a self-hoster?

Cloudflare works fine with Discourse.
