Does Discourse support multiple machines (each with a single docker container) behind a standalone load balancer? I require a Discourse setup to handle the failure of a server, so my standard response is to configure 3 servers behind a load balancer (with the LB handling the SSL certificate). I ha…

Thanks Rafael. Much appreciated. I have run into an issue with the SSL terminated on the load balancer. Discourse specifies all it’s links as HTTP. Is there a way to make Discourse aware that it’s links should be https?

Yes, drop to a rails console and set it to https with: cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rails c SiteSetting.force_https = true
