I can’t really find much documentation on this. But I am running an Ubuntu 20.04 lemp server, and would like to install 2 discourse servers on the same box. How do I go about doing this?

See [Set up Discourse on a server with existing Apache sites](https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-discourse-on-a-server-with-existing-apache-sites/30013).

I wouldn’t try it without at least 4GB of ram, and you’ll still need swap.
