Hello.
I would love to try out the discourse platform on my centminmod LEMP stack ( [https://centminmod.com/](https://centminmod.com/) )
I have sucessfully managed to installed Docker
```plaintext
docker -v
Docker version 20.10.17, build 100c701
```
I have followed the guide for install ( [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)) with a few minor tweaks - I dont have a cloud server per se. Its my managed instance.
I also had to edit my `/containers/app.yml` manually.
Once I have done this I get no errors when rebuilding the app via `./launcher rebuild app `
However , I cannot connect to the docker instance either. It hits the landing page of my virtual host.
What do I need to do so that I can reverse proxy the nginx config to the docker? Or has anyone written a guide in installing discourse on centmindmod?
Thanks!
Andy

I guess this would be closest to what you are looking for [Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247) .

I have managed to get a working discourse install.
