Installer Discourse avec WordPress sur un serveur dédié

[tharindu (Tharindu Pramuditha)]

I have asked a question earlier today about how to have multiple instances in a single server and what are the ideal configurations I need for the new server.

Multiple discourse instances in a single server

To determine that would depend on various factors. Have you considered profiling your current sites to determine potential bottlenecks? If downtime is your concern perhaps you could get a VPS with more than you need then scale back once everything is running smoothly. In my experience EC2 containers can get pricy rather quickly.

After hours of researching I have decided to use the dedicated server I already have in FastComet. The reason behind this decision is simply it has got a E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz + 16gb of ram where I have installed few WordPress sites and it’s barely breaking a sweat.

My server is managed so I can have FastComet guys install the packages I want. What are the possibility to run discourse instances in this server? Is it possible to install docker containers on a optimized server for WordPress with nginx without having issues in the future?

What are the possibility to run discourse instances in this server?

Totally possible, Yet it needs some additional configuration over the vanilla install.

@tharindu

Is it possible to install docker containers on a optimized server for WordPress with nginx without having issues in the future?

Definitely possible, I’m running a similar setup but Future is unpredictable so I can’t speak of anything happening there.

It’s possible. There is a guide here for getting Discourse running through another instance of nginx on the host:

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 …

And the rest of the WordPress sites on the server can continue to run as they currently are.

Thanks for the hope @itsbhanusharma and @Cameron_D.

I have already sent this guide to FastComet team. Technical team will reach out to me and let me know if there’s any issues, otherwise I will surely breakdown the process into parts and publish a guide here so other users can save themselves from spending hours and hours figuring out what to do.

In case there is anything that they can’t figure out, be sure to post it here, I may be able to help out with the way I configure my own instance.

C’est exactement ce que je cherchais.

Nous avons Discourse installé sur un serveur virtuel (avec Docker, bien sûr).

J’ai une installation WordPress simple sur un autre serveur (avec un autre sous-domaine), mais j’aimerais la déplacer vers le serveur Discourse.

Je souhaiterais installer un conteneur Docker avec WordPress et Nginx.

Cependant, après avoir lu tous les messages mentionnés ici, je ne suis pas sûr de savoir comment procéder.

Ici, la solution consiste à installer Nginx en dehors de Docker, à configurer un site pour WordPress et un autre pour Discourse, et à acheminer les requêtes Discourse via un pipe. Si j’ai bien compris, c’est ce que dit @Cameron_D.

N’utiliser un pipe pour communiquer entre Nginx et l’installation Discourse ne sera-t-il pas plus lent ?

Mais il faut alors modifier la configuration de Discourse.

Existe-t-il l’option d’utiliser Docker pour installer un autre conteneur WordPress+Nginx, similaire à l’installation de Discourse ?

Je suppose que le niveau d’isolation fourni par Docker serait bénéfique pour éviter des problèmes de sécurité.
