Note: I forgot a detail. Before perform ./discourse-setup, you need edit discourse-setup.
Open discourse-setup with text editor, search for check_ports() { and change this:
check_port "80"
check_port "443"
To something like this:
check_port "8060"
check_port "9443"
Done.
After the fist installation, you get an error because 80 and 443 ports are in use by Plesk
Don’t worry!
Go to /containers/ and open app.yml with text editor (nano or wathever)
Find this lines:
“80:80” # fwd host port 80 to container port 80 (http)
“443:443” # fwd host port 443 to container port 443 (https)
Change to something like this:
“8060:80” # fwd host port 80 to container port 8060 (http)
“9443:443” # fwd host port 443 to container port 9443 (https)
Save and perform ./launcher rebuild app
Now, go back to Plesk panel, enter on your domain and find Docker Proxy Rules
Congrats and thank you for this tutorial. I have problems with installation…
Just yerterday I installed a new website version, but now with discourse community discussion software: https://ashesofcreation.es (in development)
comunidad.ashesofcreation.es (discourse)
I can’t install Let’s Encrypt certificate to subdomain (discourse app are inside)
People often have trouble with Centos and docker, but if it’s already installed, perhaps it’s properly configured. If that’s the case, the install instructions should work just fine. Try it and see.
Thanks for the article… I’m quite new to Discourse.
I tried installing it on my Debian Plesk system.
At first all seemed working fine… I did all as it is described above. But I had problems with discourse sending mails. So I changed the smtp settings (used mailgun) in app.yml and used ./launcher rebuild app
Afterwards discourse was not accessible via browser anymore…
I also tried to remove the container in plesk and running setup again but id didn’t help. I probably screwd up the installation even more…

I tried again, removed the discourse folder and started from the beginning…
Now I can’teven get it to run at all (maybe deleting the folder wasn’t such a good idea ):

** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one
How can I correctely delete discourse completeley, so I can start all over?
