On my vps I use primarily nginx for a php type forum. I also am running NodeBB (node.js) proxied through nginx. The point being port 80 belongs to nginx.

Alright, I missed that. I decided to try my configuration anyways and answer my own question. The answer is YES it works using my configuration found in post #1 [תמונה] Nginx + discourse Self-hosting On my vps I use primarily nginx for a php type forum. I also am running NodeBB (node.js) proxied through nginx. The point being port 80 belongs to nginx.

You might want to take a look at this post for more information: [תמונה] Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse Self-Hosting If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX or HAProxy proxy in front of the Docker container. NOTE: This is for advanced admins This guide assumes you already have Discourse working - if you don’t, it may be hard to tell whether or not the configuration is working. You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will need to copy and edit samples/standalone.yml with your favorite tex… Haven’t done it myself, but looks pretty detailed and might send you in the right direction for your project.

I’m aware of that, but I don’t think you’ve answered my question (your post also got cut off) Do you see the above configuration as a possible working solution? Discourse is not yet installed and I plan on using the above app.xml to install it. The nginx should then act as a proxy. If you don’t know, please say you don’t know. That is a perfectly acceptable answer.

[תמונה] Honey: I’m aware of that Let us know what prior research you’ve done in the future so we can skip recommending anything you might have already seen. [תמונה] Honey: please say you don’t know See: [תמונה] wesochuck: Haven’t done it myself [תמונה] Honey: I plan on using the above app.xml to install it. Do you mean app.yml ? From my linked article: [תמונה]Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse This is where we change how Discourse actually gets set up. We don’t want the container listening on ports - instead, we’ll tell it to listen on a special file. Change your /var/discourse/containers/app.yml to look like this: So, I would say that while your proposed app.yml file might work, it would not be the preferred/supported method of doing what you’re trying to accomplish.

I do apologize. I’m new to discourse and your post appeared to be cut off. So from my limited perspective it originally appeared to offer no information. The only question I really was asking was if my config looked like it would work or if anyone else had tried such a configuration?! I decided to proceed forward and my config does work. :slight_smile:

Understood, no hard feelings. Good luck with your setup. Do consider my warning though that while your method may work, you might encounter support issues that this community won’t be able to help you with because your setup is different than the one recommended by a Discourse team member.

Seems like @honey knows what s/he is doing. Good work!
