Is it possible to run two separate Discourse forums on the same cloud server? Thanks

If those are low volume forum, it is possible to host two stand alone forums (with nginx reverse proxy) or a multisite system on the same server given that the server is powerful enough.

I’m doing this now, hosting 6 forums on the same server.
There are number of threads about doing this: [Search results for 'multiple discourse' - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=multiple%20discourse)

It depends what your motivation is and how much traffic you have. If you have low volume sites, It’s often cheaper and easier to just get 2 droplets. Otoh, I’ve been using a configuration with traefik and multiple web containers that’s working well on servers with 16gb ram.
