WARNING: We are about to start downloading the Discourse base image
This process may take anywhere between a few minutes to an hour, depending on your network speed
I used the stand alone yml in which I set SMTP to my gmail account and discourse hostname to localhost.
I can log into the virtual box running image and confirm it is still running.
I followed this install guide except I installed to docker on my laptop instead of on Digital Ocean. Internet is too patchy where I live to develop online. I’d be offline for a day some times.
Just being curious, why are you installing Discourse with Docker on your machine? If you just want to fiddle with locally, it’s much easier to do the developer install.
When I tried “Discourse as your rails app” I got stuck. I couldn’t find standalone.yml file or the containers directory. I thought that the developer install had been abandoned.
You don’t need docker for the developer install. Just vagrant if you’re running Windows (or want to run your dev env in a VM). Alternatively you can follow any of the advancedsetups.
