This can be achieved in multiple ways, Easiest will be to use your domain with cloudflare with following settings:
1. `example.com` - Cloudflare enabled, SSL served by cloudflare and Page rule set up to forward all requests to `forum.example.com`
2. `forum.example.com` - Cloudflare disabled (certificate managed by discoruse itself)
alternatively, you can also set up a reverse proxy like nginx and terminate ssl from there, Generate letsencrypt ssl for your reverse proxy and then from nginx, set the appropriate redirect.
