Hi Discourse team, We’re currently evaluating the Docker image available here: discourse/discourse - Docker Image This image was published very recently (less than 24h ago at the time of writing), and I couldn’t find references to it in the official documentation. My question is: Is this Docker…

Similar situation, was looking for a quick way to spin up Discourse in a Docker Compose setup to make it easier for developers to build an SSO integration. This appears to work a treat (setup below for those who are interested): ▶ docker-compose.yml Looking forward to hearing about future plans or t…

Ah thanks for sharing, @JackNZ . I didn’t even notice the discourse/postgres image :sweat_smile: I’ll have to fix that. Nevertheless, I’ll share where I’m at too. Maybe more interesting is the start.sh script here that, while in need of some cleanup, will create an admin user, API key, and disab…

really thanks for the `bitnami/discourse` information, I use the official way to install on a restricted network, it is quite painful. I will try the bitnami/discourse one. thank you!

Is this close to being production ready now? If not, is there a roadmap/indicative dates of when it will be? Great work BTW - will make managing new releases a lot easier with a simple image tag update :+1:

There’s some internal updates going on in our hosting that turned out to be unforseen dependencies. Those need to be resolved before I’ll be able to push to have it marked for official support, but I suspect the last blockers here are planned to be resolved this quarter. It’s been a long road. In t…

thanks for the work here @featheredtoast ! Is it possible to install additional plugins into the discourse/discourse image? How does the process look like for that?

Hello ! I registered just to say thanks a lot to all for your help, particularly @featheredtoast I almost got it to work, but the mail sending wasn’t working. I suppose it was because I have caddy as a reverse proxy. So now I’m back to using discourse separately from all the other services on m…
