Web_only installation

Product Support Self-hosting

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around setting up Discourse using a web_only container setup. Aniket initially sought guidance on installing via web_only.yml, and Moin directed them to the two-container setup documentation, noting that ./discourse-setup --two-container is required when no app.yml exists. pfaffman confirmed this approach. After troubleshooting, Aniket reported success but encountered issues with images and logos not loading, which pfaffman attributed to storage paths. Aniket then asked about configuring S3 for uploads instead of local storage in the web_only setup.

You probably need to either move them to web_only or change the bind path in the yml file.
