This is my 5th time setting up Discourse, and in each of the previous 4 attempts, I’ve been able to use the $6/month Droplet to get the job done. But now DO says life with Discourse starts at the $12/month price point. In 2019, this was $5/month. Then it went up to $6. Now it’s $12? That’s more th…

[صورة] pearsonified: If you set up a new Droplet and choose Discourse as your pre-installed software, every price option under the $12 price point is grayed out. Don’t do that. You should follow the standard install instructions and install it yourself. My https://dashboard.literatecomputing.…

This is precisely what I did, but the installation is now failing, and I think it might be due to memory issues. I’ve posted the detailed logs here , but I have not received any insightful responses yet.

My VPS costs (in my case on Scaleway) have definitely inflated considerably since 2017 when I first started running Discourse sites.

With mailgun setup a new account with them recently, when the first $35 attempted charge was denied they temporarily disabled account and requested opening a support ticket before they tried another charge, with some verification questions for new account: What types of emails will you be sending? …

Funny thing. Two weeks ago I tried (and succeeded) to setup a discourse forum for some old friends… and faced the exact same issues. Digital Ocean didn’t allowed me to chose the lower plans as it was greyed out. Accepted it and went with the 12$ plan, although this was quiet a bit over budget for a…

[صورة] Junik: I found information about their flex plan and the pay-as-you-go but no option to change it myself. Had to contact the service and they now changed it to flex plan for me. That’s annoying. I may investigate some other service to recommend to my install customers.

[صورة] pearsonified: I think they’re trying to push low-volume customers over to Mailjet instead. Interesting theory, is mail jet a good platform for use with discourse or have you tried any other mail sender/receiver systems with this? For mailgun the flex/free plan seems to only work with …

[صورة] anon36555649: to process incoming mail looks like the $35 a month minimum is required for that. For incoming mail for Discourse, Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites is free and pretty easy.
