I can’t seem to get the secondsite method working again, so now I’m looking at running my two sites in separate containers on the same server. If anyone has any experience with this, drop me a message.

It is mostly doable on a decently sized machine, You’ll need a reverse proxy at the bare minimum to handle ssl. And maybe use the socketed template instead of exposing ports.

If you know what you are doing then yes. There shouldn’t be any problem.

I’ve done it with treafik and nginx proxy something. It does use more resources than multisite. You still have to understand how to get postgres to have multiple databases (unless you want to run two copies of postgres, which will require still more resources).

This server has 12 processors and 16 Gig and these are not high volume forums, so I’m not worried about the extra resources to have two containers both running postgres. I just need to figure out how to get two containers running at the same time, if I rebuild one, it stops the other. I can handle…

Hi Jay, When you say [图片] pfaffman: change all the stuff that conflicts with the other one. do you mean I should be treating the two containers as a single site behind a sensible hostname and failover setup (i.e. same DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME with a load balancer/health checks in front), rather t…

[图片] pfaffman: [图片] Ethsim2: I’m assuming both configs can just join the same Docker network rather than binding host ports, which would avoid some of the obvious conflicts — is that the right approach? I have the reverse proxy talk to port 80 on the container. Others prefer to use socket…

[图片] pfaffman: You can even use discourse-setup if you rename app.yml to, say, hostname.yml before you run ./discourse-setup again. this sounds good, and probably explains why .\discourse-setup wasn’t working with an app.yml rather than the yml file being named the intended hostname?

有人有运行两个独立的 Docker 容器而不是 secondsite 方法的经验吗？

支持安装

你需要再创建一个 yml 文件，例如 app2.yml，并更改所有与另一个文件冲突的内容。
