Installa Discourse insieme a WordPress su un server dedicato

[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.

È esattamente quello che stavo cercando.

Abbiamo Discourse installato su un server virtuale (con Docker, ovviamente).

Ho una semplice installazione di WordPress su un altro server (con un altro sottodominio), ma vorrei spostarla sul server di Discourse.

Vorrei installare un container Docker con WordPress e nginx.

Ma non sono sicuro di come procedere dopo aver letto tutti i post menzionati qui.

Qui la soluzione consiste nell’installare nginx fuori da Docker e configurare un sito per WordPress e un altro per Discourse, inoltrando le richieste di Discourse tramite una pipe.
Se ho capito bene, è quello che dice @Cameron_D.

Non sarebbe più lento usare una pipe per comunicare tra nginx e l’installazione di Discourse?

In ogni caso, dovresti modificare la configurazione di Discourse.

Esiste l’opzione di utilizzare Docker per installare un altro container WordPress+nginx, simile all’installazione di Discourse?

Immagino che il livello di isolamento fornito da Docker sia un vantaggio per evitare problemi di sicurezza.
