There is a **[community](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/community)** post about how to set up discourse on App Engine Flexible environment:

[https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/community/blob/master/tutorials/setting-up-ruby-discourse.md](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/community/blob/master/tutorials/setting-up-ruby-discourse.md)

I have difficulty to deploy it, it fails to connect to postgres/redis and the whole instance/version is removed, so there is no easy way to debug.

Is this a sane idea to setup discourse on App Engine flexible environment? Or there are fundamental problems?

It all depends on how much familiarity you have with the environment into which you are deploying, and how much support you can get from whoever wrote that guide. It seems unlikely that you’ll be able to get much help here on the nuances of such a configuration.

클라우드 셸에서 App Engine Flex 환경을 통해 Discourse를 설정하는 것이 여전히 어려운 작업인가요? App Engine Flex를 사용하여 Discourse를 설정한 경험이 있는 분이 계신가요?
