Did you opened the ports in your router? Does your ISP allows traffic on Port 80/443? This type of installation is not supported by Discourse, so you’ll get limited help here, specially because the issues are almost sure by networking and not the software. ---

Did you follow [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)? Discourse requires a valid domain name. It’s difficult to host a web site on a home computer. You should provide an email address when `discourse-setup` asks for a let’s encrypt email address rather than trying to create your own certificates. ---

Just follow the Docker and Discourse installation instructions. ---
