Discourse on Google compute engine

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 :slight_smile: 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?

是的,有很多好处。你可以使用大量技术。目前,我在 Ubuntu Bionic 的 Docker 中运行 Discourse,已持续 90 天,并使用了 300 美元的信用额度。三个月后我会向你更新进展。我有一个小型论坛。
