Hi all. I am trying to set up Discourse in a Docker container. The host environment (Debian) is running an Apache httpd server (I can’t run nginx because I’m hosting other sites on Apache). I want to use mod_proxy to reverse-proxy to the container, which is listening on port 3000. Apache’s current…

So the solution you’re proposing is to run Discourse behind HAProxy behind Apache? As I said, I have to use Apache at the front because I am hosting other vhosts on this machine.

Why not nginx? I’m not sure of the performance on discourse with apache.

I don’t have the time or resources to switch to nginx at the moment. To be clear, Discourse itself would be running on nginx but it needs to be proxied through Apache.

I’ve done a bit more looking into this and I think I can accomplish what I’m after because it seems HAProxy can choose backends based on vhost.

Sorry. I did the wrong search. Perhaps you can try again and find a howto for Apache.

HAProxy does what I’m after and looks like a very polished and useful tool. Thanks for the pointer. However, it seems that editing templates/web*.yml to listen on ports other than the defaults of 80 and 443 was where the trouble was. I restored the default configs then edited containser/app.yml to …

I’ve been really happy with traefik lately, and it’ll do let’s encrypt certificates automatically (you can do that with HA-Proxy too, it’s just a bit more work.) Glad you figured it out!
