Though you could find some workarounds like my examples to have a page that differs from your Discourse’s appearance, making it look like it doesn’t belong to Discourse, the JS part would be tricky.

I think the most proper way would be either to have a web server along Discourse on your server. There’s documentation about this:

Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse

@pfaffman edited this heavily 2022.02.24. Blame me if it’s broken. If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX or HAProxy proxy in front of the Docker container. NOTE: This is for advanced admins This guide assumes you already have Discourse working - if you don’t, it may be hard to tell whether or not the configuration is working. You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will …

Let Apache know which port to listen for. While this is only a rough guide, it should do a good job of pointing you in the right direction. Let’s get star…

Or to host your website on a different server, which is much easier. A low-specs, cheap one would perfectly do the job.

You can find such hosting plans at about 2$/month. You can even have a free 100 MB plan on OVH, but I think the domain must be registered on their site.
