Then configured nginx proxy manager

No, it is documented and works well, some other users seems to have done it properly and the thread I linked.
Practically it connects the discourse docker to the docker network of my choice.

Make sure that everything is using the same hostname and you have them in lower case. Failed new install - #6 by Heliosurge
