Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse

Just wanted to share how I accomplished this, it was a little easier than I first thought.

From an already running machine, with Caddy acting as a reverse proxy for a number of existing Docker containers already.

  1. Clone discourse as per the official instructions
  2. Copy /var/discourse/samples/standalone.yml -> /var/discourse/containers/app.yml
  3. Fill in SMTP settings and website address
  4. Comment out 443:443 from the expose: section
  5. Replace 80:80 -> 3001:80, 3001 being the port I’m serving via Caddy
  6. Run ./launcher rebuild app
  7. Done

Whop!
