AriHoresh is having trouble installing Discourse on their main domain, futuredoctor.ai. Despite a successful Docker installation, the site is not loading. awesomerobot suggests that the issue might be related to hosting Discourse on an apex domain and points to a relevant guide. AriHoresh confirms using CloudFlare, a supported DNS provider, but is unsure about the next steps. Timelord recommends disabling the proxy function in Cloudflare and using it only for DNS. AriHoresh mentions that they already tried this solution, but it didn’t work, and they decided to host the site on a subdomain instead.
I am having trouble getting my new domain, futuredoctor.ai, to work with Discourse. I have been searching for a solution for a few hours now, but unfortunately, I haven’t had any luck so far.
I have installed Discourse on this domain using the Docker installation method, which I have successfully used around 20 times for different websites I own. However, even though the installation process completed without any errors and the website should be up and running, when I navigate to the domain, I see nothing.
This is the first time I am trying to install Discourse on a main domain rather than a subdomain, and it seems to be causing issues. I would really appreciate any help or advice on how to get this up and running. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
I can confirm that I am using CloudFlare, which is included on the list of supported DNS providers for Discourse. However, I am uncertain about the steps I should take next.
It seems like this option should be automatic in CloudFlare, but it doesn’t seem to happen.
