which: no docker.io in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
Port 80 appears to already be in use.

This will show you what command is using port 80
COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
httpd     467   root    4u  IPv6 616054      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)
httpd     472 nobody    4u  IPv6 616054      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)
httpd     473 nobody    4u  IPv6 616054      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)
httpd     474 nobody    4u  IPv6 616054      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)
httpd   13038 nobody    4u  IPv6 616054      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)

If you are trying to run Discourse simultaneously with another web
server like Apache or nginx, you will need to bind to a different port

See meta discourse org/t/17247

If you are reconfiguring an already-configured Discourse, use

./launcher stop app

The issue is right in the output you’ve shared. Something else on your server is using port 80, which Discourse needs to use. If you’re not running anything else on the server you should disable NGINX, Apache, or whatever is using port 80. If you are running something else, you need to follow the instructions in the topic linked above, meta.discourse.org/t/17247.

You need to configure the front web server to forward traffic to the docker container.

Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse

@pfaffman edited this heavily 2022.02.24. Blame me if it’s broken. If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX or HAProxy proxy in front of the Docker container. NOTE: This is for advanced admins This guide assumes you already have Discourse working - if you don’t, it may be hard to tell whether or not the configuration is working. You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will …

So i need to reinstall my whole server fresh install discourse and then configurate ngix to run ather sites yap ?

[schleifer (Andrew Schleifer)]

@savas

need to reinstall my whole server fresh install discourse and then configurate ngix to run ather

Or figure out an Apache equivalent to the “Create an NGINX ‘site’ for the outer nginx” section.

Some discussion to that effect here:

Also, there are many problems with CentOS and docker. Judging from the questions you’re asking, I’m guessing that it’ll take you several hours and a bunch of down time on all of your web sites to figure out how to install Discourse with your Apache server. First, though, you’ll need to figure out how to get Docker installed.

For $60/year, you could host it on its own droplet at Digital Ocean (or others).
