If you want to host non-Discourse sites on the same host, you’ll need to set up a reverse proxy. Simply follow [these steps](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247) to do so. In the end, you’ll have an nginx running outside of Docker to fiddle with 🙂

(Please note that Discourse and your external website should use different domains, or links from Discourse will break.)
