Hi there, did you know you could do a one-line install?
Quick Start
Run this single command on a fresh Ubuntu/Debian server:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/discourse/discourse_docker/main/install-discourse | sudo bashThat’s it! The installer will:
- Install Docker and git automatically (if not present)
- Download the Discourse Docker configuration
- Launch an interactive setup wizard
Don’t have a domain name? No problem! The installer offers free subdomains like
yoursite.discourse.diy— no purchase required.Don’t want to set up email? Skip SMTP and users can log in via Discourse ID with social logins (Google, Facebook, Apple, GitHub).
