Hi there, before posing configs and logs, just a basic question: I am understanding, that it should be possible to host discourse on any server that provides docker? I did not use docker before, but after installing I was able to get the sample app running, which serves a simple test website. Is i…

Yes, there are many topics on this, try searching a bit.

Here’s the corresponding howto: [image] Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse Self-Hosting @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 …

Thanks! That is excactly what I needed. Should have found it by myself, sorry. I still have issues getting NGINX running, the installation fails because of “dependency issues” maybe because apache2 is blocking port/s (“Problems to install nginx-full on debian 8”, https://unix.stackexchange.com/ques…

Hm. I’d think that a port being taken should not prevent the installation… but whatever: Just try stopping Apache and complete the installation. Afterwards, you can still stop nginx and restart Apache, then take all you time to configure nginx as needed.

Ok, after stoping apache2 the installation worked fine and nginx was running, but it blocked apache2. Stoping nginx and restarting apache2 worked, but restarting nginx fails as long as apache2 is running.

Good! Now that both are installed, you can configure them as you want. The basic plan of attack (if you want to follow my recommendation) is this: Teach Apache to listen on another port, leaving port 80 (and maybe 443 for SSL) free. If Apache has been doing SSL for you so far, dismiss Apache of t…

Thanks a lot, I definitly appreciate your advice! I wish I could continue right now, but other duties demand to postpond this project to the weekend… I hope to get back to this tomorrow evening and hopefully my next post will be about success :wink:

Now I spent some more time on this. I thought it makes sense first to get discourse running on nginx and then worry about integration. I got it working halfway, but there are more difficulties: creating my first user account (for the admin) leeds to an activation link that doesn’t work. It starts …

Uh, now it seems I can not get apache back online. This is a problem… :fearful: Could rebuiding the discourse app cause this somehow? I did not touch any apache settings and while playing with this before rebuilding I could always stop ngingx and restart apache. EDIT: I could solve this. nginx see…
