Hello, I have VPS includes Plesk web admin edition, where I manage about 6 domains. The hosting company told me that “it is not possible to add Docker to your VPS plan”, so is there a way to: 1: install Discourse without Docker 2: As I’m using Plesk for other domains, Is the installation of Disco…

Install discourse on its own server in a sub domain. That’s easiest and in many ways best.

Ubuntu 14 is too old, and goes EOL in a bit. Discourse needs modern software, which is bundled together in the Docker image. I wouldn‘t bother looking into installing them by yourselves - if you cannot have Docker installed, it will be hard to get all the other applications from the container instal…

Thanks @Cameron_D I’m going to check it

Multisite may be the “best” way to have two sites, but if you’re used to having Plesk do all of the work, you’ll probably be better off having two droplets with simple installs.

By the way, Plesk will manage only mydomain.com (the main domain includes Wordpress) and Digital Ocean …

The wp-discourse plugin doesn’t care where the discourse server is running. You should follow the install cloud instructions rather than use the one click install.
