Any ux can be challenging if different from what one has used.

Documentation category has a lot of information on setting things up.

About the Documentation category

Documentation for how to use Discourse, install and configure sites, and troubleshoot common issues. Includes topics for tutorials, how-tos, general reference and troubleshooting. Topics need to be created in one of the subcategories, and may only be created and edited by trust level 2 and up. Please see our Documentation style guide for reference.

However always feel free to reach out as the team & community are very helpful.

If a search doesn’t yield results you’re looking for. Consider also exploring suggested topics after topic is created.
