Docker compose addition

Hey there, sorry for the late reply. This is something we’re still planning, but is not officially supported™ yet.

In the meantime, it is on my personal repo - this template is currently maintained by me and is not an officially adopted template that the wider team is able to support:

github.com/featheredtoast/discourse-docker-compose

docker-compose.yml

main

services:
  redis:
    image: redis
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./shared/redis:/data
    shm_size: '512m'

  db:
    image: discourse/postgres
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./shared/db:/var/lib/postgresql
      - ./shared/db/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      DB_PASSWORD: SOME_SECRET
    shm_size: '512m'

  web:
    image: discourse/discourse

All disclaimers aside, I do run all my personal sites using this, and it’s been pretty smooth so far
