Hey guys,

I want to start a forum and I have chosen vultr for cloud compute. But am still confused on some details I read on this forum and online too. I use windows 10 and I don’t know if it relates to installing dicourse on a cloud server.

This is where I got stuck. Should I pick Windows or any other OS? Is it according the OS I use on my PC?

I just need someone to explain the whole process to me. Thanks
