Hi @Ed_S  
thanks for the hint about the missing port. I first want to wait for the reply from Falco concerning my questions about the general setup of discourse with an external postgres database.

Yes, the setup is a bit sophisticated compared to the standard with just one app container. I run everything in a dedicated root machine with Proxmox ([https://p](https://p)[roxmox.com](http://roxmox.com)) as virtualization environment at [hetzner.de](http://hetzner.de)
