**Hello Discourse family,**
Maybe this is an unusual way, but I ran a server with Hetzner and discovered Discourse, which I planned to use after upgrading my server from cax11 to cax21 64x (4 cores, 8gb). I used the [official tutorial](https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/installation/server-setups/hetzner/) to install N8N with Caddy and everything went smoothly.
However, when trying to install Discourse, I encountered some problems. Despite searching for solutions since yesterday, I have been unable to get it running.
I came across this [thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/use-caddy-instead-of-ngnix-as-your-reverse-proxy/54716) about Caddy where they suggested using `unix:/sock/nginx.http.sock` or the `port method`, but neither option worked for me.
**Here are my last settings:**
I copied the standalone file and edited it as follows in /git/discourse/containers/app.yml
```plaintext
templates:
- templates/postgres.template.yml
- templates/redis.template.yml
- templates/web.template.yml
- templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml
- templates/web.socketed.template.yml
expose: null
params:
db_default_text_search_config: pg_catalog.english

DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS: ad ******* net
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp-relay.sendinblue.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: ad ******* ee
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: x ***************** z8GTVA
volumes:
- volume:
host: /git/discourse/shared/standalone
guest: /shared
- volume:
host: /git/discourse/shared/standalone/log/git-log
guest: /git/log
hooks:
after_code:
- exec:
cd: $home/plugins
cmd:
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
run:
- exec: echo "Beginning of custom commands"
- exec: echo "End of custom commands"
```
**And for the `/root/n8n-docker-caddy/caddy_config/Caddyfile`:**
```plaintext
n8n.example.net {
reverse_proxy n8n-docker-caddy-n8n-1:5678 {
flush_interval -1
}
}
forum.example.net {
reverse_proxy unix//git/discourse/shared/standalone/nginx.http.sock
import cloudflare
}
```
**And for the `/root/n8n-docker-caddy/docker-compose.yml`:**
```plaintext

**Docker PS status:**
“If no one catches my issue, I’m thinking of removing the whole server and reinstalling it from the beginning. I just want to make sure that both n8n and Docker work properly. Please guide me to the right documentation if you know of any that can help with this.”

I created the same help request on the Caddy Discourse site: [Installing Discourse With Caddy (Docker Compose) (hetzner Cloud) - Help - Caddy Community](https://caddy.community/t/installing-discourse-with-caddy-docker-compose-hetzner-cloud/20174). I will post an update here as soon as I find a solution.
