I am able to run discourse forum applications locally on ubuntu 14.04 without any problems. Now I am trying to make it work on Heroku. I am stuck. I am using Mandrill starter for emails, rediscloud:25 as addons. Here is what I did: I added mandrill details and hostname in discourse_quickstart…

Heroku is not a supported setup and until we figure out a properly supported mechanism of doing uploads it can not be. Use digital ocean / linode or any other vps, it is supported.

I am using a 32 bit laptop at the moment(and for another 2 months). I cannot install docker on my ubuntu system. I might need the docker set up for customizing the front end. I shifted to heroku because I will be able to customize the front end from my laptop. I have a little experience in Rails. I…

Digital Ocean at 10 bucks a month is cheaper than one beer at an Ibiza night club.

hehe :slight_smile: A new laptop costs a minimum of 1000 Dollars. I cannot install docker on my current system. The problem is not the 10USD or the 50USD for heroku. I cannot customize the front end on my current laptop :frowning: if I use docker. Or am I wrong about it? I cannot postpone the proj…

[image] sam: You can set up a dev environment on x32, nothing is blocking you. @riking I never used docker before. Docker installation docs say that a 64 bit machine is needed for installing docker on any system. Installation on Digital Ocean would not be a problem like you said. If I have …

No, only the machine where you want Docker to run must be a 64bit arch. Since your Discourse will be running on a server in a datacenter far, far away, your laptop’s arch has nothing to do with it. For a basic Discourse setup, your laptop needs a good browser, I’d recommend Firefox or Chrome, an S…

Given your set up: How do I change the styling (a little css) of the home page of discourse and push those changes to digital ocean?

you don’t need a dev environment for that … just edit site customizations in admin.

Its probably way simpler, the team do not support Heroku questions here, in theory you can get it working but you would be on your own.
