Has anyone managed to make email work with Discourse in a Google compute instance?
Answering my own question: Discourse running on Google Compute just fine with email and all (port 2525). Just don’t bother with the 0.6GB instance, you just run into lots of issues and page loads are really slow. However the 1.7GB instance is a bit on the pricier side, and there’s nothing in between…
I’m currently evaluating an option to install Discourse on GCE.
It’s been over a year since the last response here. Has something changed with regards to GCE best tier & pricing?
Nope, probably has gotten easier, just remember minimum reqs are 1GB RAM and 10GB disk and modern CPU, ideally one with high single threaded perf.
Use Vultr or Digital Ocean, these seem to be the go-to 
in fact we should have a hosting solution review topic like Whirlpool forum does.
Many exist already. Scroll through the hosting category.
^^It is indeed Bitnami. What is that? Can you elaborate?
네, 장점이 많습니다. 다양한 기술을 활용할 수 있습니다. 현재는 $300 크레딧으로 Ubuntu Bionic에서 Docker를 사용해 Discourse를 90일간 운영하고 있습니다. 3개월 후 결과를 공유해 드리겠습니다. 작은 규모의 포럼을 운영하고 있습니다.
