Hey there,

I have an existing machine with nginx and SSL running (also for the domain that is supposed to use discourse later).

I found quite some hints about how to proxy to discourse through nginx but none of the approaches this from a fresh installation. As ./discourse-setup basically doesn’t even start when port 80 is in use already I’m a bit lost when it comes to changing the app.yml that isn’t yet created.

I’m sure I can create it from the bottom up but I don’t know how.

Any guide to follow along for this case?

Thanks
