Hello, I am planning to set up a new Discourse forum and would like to clarify a few points: Server: I will purchase a VDS from Hetzner. Which operating system is recommended for Discourse? Email/SMTP: I’m considering using Namecheap Private Email. Will this SMTP service work smoothly during the …

Hi! [图片] Can: Which operating system is recommended for Discourse? Depends on your forum’s size and activity. If it’s small, a CX22 for 5€/month will be fine. A CAX11 (ARM architecture) has the same specs and price, but I find that Discourse runs even better on ARM than x86, not sure why. …

I’m fairly certain NameCheap Private Email isn’t a transactional mail service (I can’t find anything to say it is?). Discourse recommends a transactional mail service be used. You may encounter problems like this if you use things like NameCheap Private Email. If it works for you, then …
