There is a TOR template for discourse:

discourse/discourse_docker/blob/main/templates/web.onion.template.yml

# Adds another server on port 80 for hidden service hosting

run:
  - exec:
      cmd:
        # Check DISCOURSE_ONION variable has been configured
        - if [ -z "$DISCOURSE_ONION" ]; then echo "DISCOURSE_ONION ENV variable is required and has not been set."; exit 1; fi

  - exec:
      cmd:
        # Copy default nginx file
        - "cp $home/config/nginx.sample.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/onion.conf"

  # Remove duplicate entries that would crash the server
  - replace:
      filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/onion.conf"
      from: /upstream[^\}]+\}/m
      to: ""

  - replace:

This file has been truncated. show original

It was last updated 6 years ago so I’m not sure if it’d still work but if it still works, this should get you going. Read the template to understand how it works.

You’ll need to include the template in your app.yml and define DISCOURSE_ONION link (which is your .onion address.
