Hm. Personally, I’d go without the web panel and simple run Discourse directly, but this should work too (although I don’t get which database you want to manage…).

Since your’re running a custom setup, I’d simply skip the `discourse-setup` script, manually copy `samples/standalone.yml` to `containers/app.yml` and edit it there. You can use the tutorial you linked to or [this one](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247) which uses nginx as the front end. I prefer the latter, but that’s entirely subjective 😉
