Just do the “30 minute installation” on a different directory than /var/discourse? Are there any possible conflicts using this method could create? I would be using a second IP for the new discourse, method I used in the past to run wordpress and discourse in same vps, which works is a lot less messy than setting up reverse proxy to me.

Thanks in advance.
