Running Discourse on Azure Web Sites vs. Azure VM?

I’m already running (and paying for) a site using Azure Web Sites and want to know if anyone has been able to set up Discourse on Web Sites (the fully managed platform) as opposed to an Azure VM. I’d rather not pay for an extra VM when I have the ability to spin up another web site on the managed side of things for no cost. Thanks.

Ruby is not supported by this service. Since even java is not supported, it will be nearly impossible to get discourse running… unless you re-wrote it in a language they support.

Now that Java in Web Apps (formerly Websites) is available, is running Discourse on the managed platform now a possibility?

Unlikely, we do not work under JRuby at the moment + there is a mountain of dependencies

Why not use Docker?

I know that azure (and by extension Microsoft) is moving into the docker space, where containers can be setup on a scaling interface.

It won’t be easy to deploy directly to using the building script, but could be an interesting deployment method overall.

是否有官方指南介绍如何在 Azure 容器服务上安装 Discourse?或者 Setup Discourse on Azure 是首选方案?

在 Azure 中设置 Linux 虚拟机仍然是首选方法,因为它与 DigitalOcean 虚拟机的安装最为相似。

已在最新的 Ubuntu Linux 虚拟机上完成设置,运行效果非常好。谢谢。

能否请您就使用 Azure Blob Storage Plugin 与选择其他方式存储上传媒体进行对比提供建议?Azure Blob 存储是否是当前合适的解决方案?

嗯,看起来还没有经过测试:

你可以尝试使用上述主题中的模板来测试 Azure Blob Storage 的类 S3 接口(非插件),看看是否可行。
