Okay so I finally got around to actually doing this, and I’m realizing I didn’t understand it as well as I thought. How does modifying the hooks create an additional site and then set it up? I hate to ask, but my issues first began when I decided to just do a second stand alone installation using a different path. That is, not /var/discourse , but /var/websitediscourse . And a different file in Nginx conf.d . I don’t normally ask for things to be dumbed down any, but could anyone tell me what needs doing to just have host Nginx listen for incoming connections to [web.site.com](http://web.site.com) and direct those to a second Docker and Discourse setup? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multiple-forums-in-a-single-installation/50832)._
