Don’t use Plesk as your frontend for Discourse! Use Discourse launcher which will handle all Docker related stuff. You will probably see it in Plesk then since it probably uses standard Docker commands for it’s extension. However, always deal with Discourse only through its launcher, otherwise you will mess things up.
