ivo1467 seeks help installing Discourse on a Debian virtual machine via virt-manager, noting that the installer blocks progress by requesting a domain name which they cannot input in the VM environment. They also ask if a non-Docker installation is possible. NateDhaliwal initially misunderstood the issue but then suggested that the user is likely attempting a Production install. Nate recommended switching to a development installation instead, providing a link to the official Discourse developer setup guide.
I am trying to install Discourse on debian virtual machine using virt-manager but i get stuck on installer asking me to enter my domain name which i can’t enter because i am installing it on virtual machine. How to proceed?
Also, is there a way to install Discourse without using Docker?
