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. 🙂

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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) guide
> [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)
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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-an-offline-page-when-rebuilding/45238)
> The above link should give you a good starting point
1. Rebuild discourse with new configuration
2. Start nginx

My bad @natsu, @itsbhanusharma supports your deployment configuration. They got you covered. 🙂
