Hello,
I wanted to set up discourse at my externally hosted VPS. I got a domain from blazingfast.
However, I run the setup, and it said that it can’t access my subdomain. So I contacted blazingfast to disable the firewall and its protection (proxy) and whitelist my vps ip because they usually don’t allow connections from outside their network. I tried running the setup again, and it says it can’t establish a connection.
The subdomain points to my externally hosted vps.
I did the following steps.
- I installed docker
- I ran git clone GitHub - discourse/discourse_docker: A Docker image for Discourse /var/discourse
- I copied the standalone.yaml and pasted it in the container folder and renamed it to app.yaml
- I ran ./discourse-setup inside the discourse directory.
Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]: community.playnocturn.com
Checking your domain name . . .
WARNING: Port 443 of computer does not appear to be accessible using hostname: community.playnocturn.com.
WARNING: Connection to http://community.playnocturn.com (port 80) also fails.
Is there anything missing? Much appreciated.
PS: I forgot to mention that I have another website running at that VPS on port 80 (apache)
