From what I can tell, EasyEngine is unable to do what is required to allow Discourse to run on the same host: [EasyEngine Community Forum](http://community.rtcamp.com/t/reverse-proxy-question/8792/2). Since EasyEngine doesn’t do what it required, it makes it harder.

The simplest solution would be to run Discourse on a separate server on a subdomain, following the [INSTALL-cloud](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) instructions.

The way that [I do it](https://www.literatecomputing.com/product/wordpress-discourse-together/) is to have CaddyServer do the reverse redirect; you might check [Use Caddy instead of NGINX as your reverse proxy](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-discourse-with-caddy-server/54716).
