Wow, I finally got a working Discourse install.
Because I already have a web-hosting account with Veerotech I went with them for my full root KVM VPS self-managed server.
| RAM | Storage | vCPU | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1GB | 30GB | 1 | $4.95/mo |
| 2GB | 40GB | 1 | $9.95/mo |
| 4GB | 50GB | 1 | $15.25/mo |
I went with the lowest priced option.
I went with the Linux Ubuntu 20.04 X86 64 Minimal Latest V1 option for my OS.
When I logged into root with SSH, I quickly learned that the partitions were not big enough for my needs. I’m a novice with Linux, so I had to do quite a lot of searching and reading before I was able to finally expand my root partition to 25GB, and add a 5GB swap partition.
After that the Discourse install went pretty smoothly.
My next problem was the fact that my site is proxied via Cloudflare, so I had to do some more searching and reading to finally get it to actually work.
Since Veerotech had not been mentioned here, and I have been using them for almost 4 years for my web-hosting without any issues or complaints, I thought I would leave a reply to let y’all know about my experience with them.
Thanks,
Major
