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…

[Bild] pfaffman: just 1gb of ram The cx23 has 4gb ram. I’m moving my other two sites to their separate cx23 servers so we’ll see how this plays out, but my feeling is it will be a-ok. [Bild] pfaffman: only if they all use the same smtp credentials. I am confused by this as mail-receiv…

[Bild] 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!

[Bild] 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

For Discourse novices, I recommend just running two sites. I made a topic for how to run multisite without a reverse proxy , but it’s out of date now. I think all that needs to change is [Bild] Setup Multisite Configuration with Let's Encrypt and no Reverse Proxy # tell letsencrypt what addi…

My two cents, after spending the whole day working on this with the help of my old notes, ChatGPT, Claude, Discourse’s AI Bot, and some topics shared here (and after taking notes and more notes about the whole process). Everything seemed to be working just fine until I got to the point where I need…

This is exactly why I said You need to rethink your strategy, while what you were trying to achieve wasn’t impossible, because it has been done before, it requires significant understanding of discourse to be able to get right. I’d recommend keep experimenting in your free time if you want to learn…

[Bild] itsbhanusharma: I’d recommend keep experimenting in your free time if you want to learn more about how discourse works, that’s how most of us here learned it. It took me much longer than I care to admit to (mostly) figure it out!

I’m documenting a supported Discourse multisite install as a command-by-command runbook. I previously experimented with a “multiple standalone installs on one server” approach, but that configuration is not supported. This post focuses only on the supported multisite architecture, rewritten in a li…
