Hi,
During the installation, I’m asked for `Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]`. I would like to use the existing **[domain.com](http://domain.com)** hostname, and serve Discourse from **/forums** directory. I have a blog into /, which I plan to replace also with a [Hugo based blog](https://gohugo.io/).
Can you let me know what approach I should use?

Floren Munteanu

Thank you @Falco, much appreciated! I presume I will answer for `Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]: www.domain.com`, and set `DISCOURSE_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT: /forum`?
