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 seem to be a totally encompassing guide to setting up a second site? If it’s just that I do that, configure that file right and then set up another site like normal, good to know, but then… What exactly does changing the file do? Just separate the database from each site? If that is the case, would running a separate site not utilize increased RAM? I guess some of my confusion comes from the post saying that it runs multiple sites in a “single Docker setup”, but then goes on to talk about separate “containers”, by “Docker setup”, do we mean, an installation of the Docker host software running on a single server, and that a “container” is the… the thing that I would think of as a container and can’t presently think of any other term for, VM perhaps would be the next best term, but as I understand it, that’s not really an accurate term. (Correct me if that’s wrong.) Thanks for your time by the way, I think it’s great that the same people developing also handle support, and that community members assist too of course. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multiple-forums-in-a-single-installation/50832)._
