**Welcome to another episode of request help by Seasiri.**

I try to setup multisite with separate folder structure for each site.

1. I use this app.yml with my own detail setup. ([Multiple docker containers for multiple Discourse forums?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multiple-docker-containers-for-multiple-discourse-forums/38946/11))
2. Upon running i receive this error:

> Ensuring launcher is up to date  
> Fetching origin  
> Launcher is up-to-date  
> cd /pups && git pull && /pups/bin/pups --stdin  
> /usr/bin/docker: invalid reference format.

Are there any good tutorial or how to run the multisite discourse?  
This is what I want to archive.

- [s1.xxx.com](http://s1.xxx.com/)
- [s2.xxx.com](http://s2.xxx.com/)
- [help.bbb.com](http://help.bbb.com/)
- [hahaha.ccc.com](http://hahaha.ccc.com/)

This is the domain I want each separate discourse to point to.

Best,  
Sea

This is what I frustrating about after trying for a while now:

1. I need sample of multisite and multicontainer in (yml) format
2. how to execute yml in the right sequence. Please help.
