Looking for Production Discourse Instructions

In a production HA environment, it is not acceptable to have a single container run Rail,Redis, Postgresql, and Nginx.

Sure, and we do not do that in our production instances, see: discourse_docker/samples at master · discourse/discourse_docker · GitHub

@Dan_Healy

It’s not clear to me if the current Discourse Docker solution will run properly on an existing Docker Cluster with many other containers already running

Runs fine for us

@Dan_Healy

Our environment already has HA Postgresql, Redis, and a Docker Cluster - These should be leveraged

Nothing stopping you leveraging that pg and redis location are passed in via environment vars

@Dan_Healy

The Discourse rails app should have the ability to start with a ‘docker stack deploy’ function, not a ./launcher script.

This did not exist 3 years ago. So, yeah … maybe … but it would require a ton of new work.

Feel free to read through: Can Discourse ship frequent Docker images that do not need to be bootstrapped?
