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 image officially maintained and supported by the Discourse team for production use? Or is it an experimental image that might be removed or changed unexpectedly? We want to confirm whether it’s safe to rely on this image in our production environments. Thanks

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 volumes: redis_data: {} discourse_data: {} discourse_postgres: {} discourse_postgres_data: {} services: mailpit: image: docker.io/axllent/mailpit:latest container_name: mailpit ports: - '8025:8025' redis: image: redis:7-alpine container_name: redis volumes: - redis_data:/data ports: - '6379:6379' command: redis-server --appendonly yes discourse_db: image: discourse/postgres container_name: discourse_db volumes: - discourse_postgres:/var/lib/postgresql - discourse_postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data environment: - POSTGRES_DB: discourse - POSTGRES_USER: admin - POSTGRES_PASSWORD: admin_password - DB_USER: discourse_user - DB_PASSWORD: discourse_user_password discourse: image: discourse/discourse:3.5.1 container_name: discourse depends_on: - discourse_db - redis - mailpit ports: - '80:80' volumes: - discourse_data:/shared environment: - DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: localhost - DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: admin@example.com - DISCOURSE_DB_HOST: discourse_db - DISCOURSE_DB_PORT: 5432 - DISCOURSE_DB_NAME: discourse - DISCOURSE_DB_USERNAME: discourse_user - DISCOURSE_DB_PASSWORD: discourse_user_password - DISCOURSE_REDIS_HOST: redis - DISCOURSE_REDIS_PORT: 6379 - DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: mailpit - DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 1025 - DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: false - DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: none - LANG: en_US.UTF-8 Looking forward to hearing about future plans or timelines, would love to be able to run this in something like Digital Ocean App Platform (something that clients could manage with less technical know-how).

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 disable rate limiters. discourse2/tests/docker at dev · gadicc/discourse2 dev/tests/docker Complete Discourse API, strongly typed.

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!

Bitnami is no longer supporting those. Upcoming changes to the Bitnami catalog (effective August 28th, 2025) · Issue #35164 · bitnami/charts · GitHub I would try the not-yet-supported stand alone discourse images. I’ve seen reports of them working well.

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 the meantime, all of my sites I’m hosting are done through the discourse/discourse docker image and it’s been working out here.

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 my docker compose setup. Do you know how I could make it work with Caddy ? I suppose I have to make it use a socketed example, but I don’t know how to modify the app.yml inside the docker-compose discourse config. All the best to you - Y
