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…

Also, no longer being able to use Mailgun is a concomitant gut-punch. I pay less than $3/month for transactional emails on my legacy Mailgun accounts, but now their “get one foot in the door price” is $35 per month! Totally untenable for something as basic as transactional emails. So to me, the Di…

DO doesn’t say this explicitly. 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. I suspect this is because Discourse’s memory requirements are bumping right up against the 1GB edge, so DO simply forces people…

I knew something like that was going on. I think they’re trying to push low-volume customers over to Mailjet instead.

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. I run several instances, of which a couple are a test and development instance only. I’m much more careful about turning these off now when I’m not using them these …

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? …
