I currently run a Discourse forum, and I’d like to run a second. I’m curious, is it possible to run a second forum from the same Docker container? Preferably within the same installation of Discourse, such that it uses the same database and well, saves on setup time. If that isn’t possible, is it p…

Thanks for the reply, but that appears to direct on how to use multiple Docker images for hosting multiple sites. (Correct me if that’s wrong.) I was looking for a solution to host multiple sites with separate domains in a single docker image/container. EDIT: It’a a little late. So I’m a bit in a …

It does answer your question, I think.

My take from [afbeelding] JupiterFlux: uses the same database is that what is being asked is if Discourse has a type of “multi-site” feature similar to WordPress multi-site. That is, some files and database tables would be “common” and shared between the different forums, while others would…

Alright, after reading through that I believe I understand better that it does do what I want, but before I go blindly changing things I’d like to know a bit about what some things do. Will any of the process (or the end result) require an increase in RAM? Is there more to that howto? That didn’t …

Okay, so… (pardon the resurrecting a mildly old topic, I’ll create a new one if someone wishes)… Why do I want separate web and data containers and not just a second standalone container? That is, why would I do the minorly more complicated thing above instead of just installing a second Discourse…

The difference is resource usage. Using multisite you re-use process and uses way less memory. If you have the resources, go ahead and run two standalones.

Good to know. That makes sense I guess. Assuming I don’t try to do upgrades to both at the same time, do you suppose slightly over 2 GB would be enough for 2 forums with around 20 active users each, posting 50 or so posts a day? If you have no idea, that’s fine. I’m just sort of curious about it. I…

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…
