Well, you’ll setup vhost as usally in ”outer” nginx using `proxy_pass http://unix:/var/discourse/shared/standalone/nginx.http.sock:;` and terminating SSL there of course

Then on `app.yml` you have to comment out port redirections and lets encrypt and use socket instead.

Restarting nginx and rebuilding Discourse will give you an open forum 😉

Instructions can be found here too.
