I already have a server for one of my communities, using Hetzner Cloud. Since I’m just starting out, there’s not enough traffic yet and even when it starts growing, the initial traffic will not be enough that justifies 2 servers. I wanted to spend some time building the community without having to…

From what I can make out of this is that You’re knees deep into overthinking your setup. Fundamentally, You shouldn’t be pursuing the 1000 brilliant new community ideas you have all at once by spinning up as many new discourse (and by extension any other software) instances. community building is …

Thanks again for the feedback. I understand what you mean, and trust me, if I were to build all the communities I needed for everything I’m involved in, we wouldn’t be talking about 4-5, but more like 15. I was able to end up with 3 that seem to be really important and should be built now. At this…

Then I’ll wish you luck, sir! All the best for your new adventure.

Hello friends and happy new year! This is a timely topic for me as I am just in the process of adjusting my own setup to save some time and money. I have three small private sites that all get very little traffic but they are all important to me. I also want to be able to spin up more sites to test…

[صورة] tobiaseigen: I am confused by this as mail-receiver is just about receiving email and there are no smtp credentials. No. Mail receiver is separate. If you’re using multisite, then there is just one YML file and that’s where the SMTP sending credentials are set. If you’re using mail rec…

Right. That makes sense. And I think would be fine for me using mailgun. I will understand all of this better if and when I start setting up a multisite!

[صورة] itsbhanusharma: You’ll first have to decide whether you want a single multisite or a single server hosting multiple standalone sites. Jumping in because I’m in a similar situation as @alltiagocom — I’ve got discourse installed on a smallish Hetzner server for my main community but have…

Multisite would definitely be less maintenance overhead so less headaches but YMMV

قد يكون تعدد المواقع بالتأكيد أقل عبئًا من حيث الصيانة وأقل إزعاجًا، ولكن النتائج تختلف من شخص لآخر (YMMV).
