Hi there,

i am looking for a tutorial to setup Wordpress and Discourse on the same Ubuntu machine this can be 18.04 or 20.04.

Currently running Ubuntu 18.04 with nginx and wordpress.

Hiya! That is not a supported use case. Discourse needs it’s own VPS. :slight_smile:

That’s not true. Discourse can run on the same machine as a wordpress site given that machine is a server and not a shared hosting.

Easiest way will be to do it as follows:

  1. Shut down nginx
  2. Install discourse per official install guide

discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub

  1. Follow other sites on same server tutorial to create a server block in nginx to forward requests to Discourse and modify the yml to use sockets.

Add an offline page to display when Discourse is rebuilding or starting up
The above link should give you a good starting point

  1. Rebuild discourse with new configuration
  2. Start nginx
