Is it possible to have multiple instances of Discourse but that users can log in to all of them with the same ID info? Let’s say that I have a forum for multiple cities, city1.domain.com , city2.domain.com , city3.domain.com but that users only have to register once. Thanks for the help in advance …

Yes, you can do it as @vinothkannans described. It’s not required that you use multisite setup to do it, but it would likely make sense. I started just such a configuration for a client recently.

In addition to the above answers to your question, you might also want to think twice before setting up separate discourse instances for different cities. See this topic for more on this: [תמונה] Setting up Multiple Instances of Discourse as Subdomains Support …

This person is seen to want to convert each category of the same forum into subdomains. What I mean is to have separate discourse for each place! However, I am going to assume this also require lots of server resources!

[תמונה] Y2K: I am going to assume this also require lots of server resources! Nope, a multisite setup requires practically the same resources as a single site with the same aggregate traffic profile.

Wow thanks for that info @mpalmer . I was a worried about this, but I guess it mostly depends on the traffic and not the installation itself. That’s good to know. This is more of a technical question; My plan is to have different sub instances, but they will all contain the same topics. Except for…

[תמונה] Y2K: Except for the main one, that will be used basically as the landing page, resgistration, informational purposes, and links directory to all the other discourses. Discourse is not a CMS. Don’t try and use it as one, it will not end well.

Thank you again for taking the time. No actually trying to use it as a CMS. Here is the plan so that you have an idea. Domain Name: army.community I have been in the military for about seven years now. Military members move a lot, about every three years you get transferred to a different duty sta…

[תמונה] Y2K: Do you think this is the best approach for my idea? Nope. Nothing in your plan would be better served by having separate subdomains. Your plan also doesn’t cover why you’d want the same topics in all of them, nor why you would want to put all the other non-discussion stuff into…

Sure. The reason for this is that every military installation has its community. For example; the information about the Commissary at Fort Irwin may and most likely will not apply to the information at Fort Riley. These military installations are often massive, and each community has its problems an…

It is possible using multisite. For user registration process use SSO provider feature in domain.com and SSO client feature in cities city1.domain.com, city2.domain.com.
