After spending a week finding a solution to installing Discourse alongside Apache, I’m begrudgingly asking for advice on my next steps because it appears that activating an SSL for Discourse behind Apache is virtually impossible given Discourse’s Nginx-biased design. Current structure of my hosting…

Did you try this How to set up Discourse on a server with existing Apache sites ?

I am seeking something similar but your are ahead in the process. A few questions that I am not sure about in your configuration if you don’t mind answering. Do you have a reverse proxy? Is the reverse proxy doing SSL? Are the other servers not doing SSL and relying on the reverse proxy to do the …

FWIW, I have done extensive testing with both Apache2 and nginx as reverse proxies in front of Discourse in production (using unix sockets) and nginx is not “much faster” . In this configuration, nginx is “slightly faster” and the speed diff is not noticeable to the user. In addition, Google pa…

@fzngagan I’m not starting over and that tutorial is for CentOS, when I clearly stated in my post that I’m using Ubuntu. @EricGT Check out the solution I shared to my own thread because finding support if you use anything other than Nginx or CentOS is virtually impossible — as evidenced by this th…

Well, as we clearly state multiple times, there’s a limit to what we can support for free here due to time and sanity constraints. That’s why we have a standardized install which works well for 95% of the people that try it, and we fully support that. If you’d like to look into paid support options…

[image] OrbitStorm: I had get assistance from DigitalOcean, a hosting provider, to get a proper reverse proxy. That’s mind-blowing, even for open-source software. Dear @OrbitStorm First of all, we use Discourse in production behind an Apache2 reverse proxy (in more than one instance) and we …

[image] neounix: In closing @OrbitStorm , I strongly advise you (speaking as a Discourse user, not a team member), to change your approach of bullying on meta for support TL;DR: lolwut? You put together this wall of text in response without ever actually addressing the original topic, in some…

I fail to see why the ssl configuration has to do with the apps behind the proxy :thinking: , as long as the ssl template is disable in the app.yml ? nginx or apache or haproxy or traefik, they all have the same snippet/serverblock/virtualhost concept where basically you specify ssl on, then where …

Ok everyone needs to take a break from this topic. We have tried to help as much as we can.
