Host of discourse

sams_sams is trying to host Discourse on their Ubuntu computer but is experiencing issues. marianord suggests checking the router ports and ISP settings, noting that this type of installation is not supported by Discourse.

pfaffman points out that Discourse requires a valid domain name, which is difficult to achieve with a home computer. They also advise providing an email address for Let’s Encrypt certificates.

sams_sams asks if Discourse requires Apache, and pfaffman confirms that it does not. sams_sams realizes this might be the problem.

pfaffman suggests checking if the domain resolves to the public IP of the server, and later asks sams_sams to change the hostname to realflightsimulator.tk. However, the domain’s server IP address could not be found.

Hello i am download discours on my Ubuntu and i woud like host discourse in my computer bu i have problème when i go in my website discourse discourse dont works

!

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.

I have my port 80 open

The discourses requiert apache ?

Did you follow discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub?

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.
