Is there a way to host dynamic pages with Discourse? I looked into the Landing Page Plugin, but it’s for static pages. I don’t mind having Discourse on the main domain itself instead of a subfolder, although I know I can build dynamic pages in subfolders then. Is there any alternative or a way to do…

Discourse doesn’t use php, so you can’t host php files with discourse. You can do anything that php can do with a plugin, however. It’s very different than php, though.

As i red the question is can a directory, as part of an url, be outside Discourse or Docker (docker is very difficult consept to understand for me) and therefor use PHP. Or — can, for example, a reverse proxy redirect calls so that directory part is taken care by something like LAMP, and everything…

However — that question is off topic in this category, because solution would be something else than standard.

Okay, need to give it a shot then :))

Actually, I guess I should give it a try on a dummy community first to check if it works fine and doesn’t cause any issues or conflicts.

What is it that you need your interactive page to do?

It was supposed to handle some API queries mainly :))

So these api inquiries have to do with data in discourse? Can you be more specific.
