Hi all,

I’m currenty thinking about switching from NodeBB with MongoDB to Discourse. As I can see there are even migration scripts, that’s awesome.

Before doing so I would like to install Discourse on my DigitalOcean Droplet which is currently running Ubuntu with NodeBB on top of that. So I would install Discourse in parallel.

Are there any interferences I should expect, e.g. using same ports in some way or am I good to go?

Thanks in advance!
