Hello everyone,

I am new to Discourse self-hosting. I am installing this on a server that’s running other web services. So I have my own Nginx, which will proxy connections to the Discourse container. I also have a full-fledged SMTP server to handle the emails.

I have two questions.

1. Following the documentation to install Discourse, it pulled the development version ( 3.5.0.beta7-dev). I don’t want to run this version. How do I make it pull the latest release version instead?

2. While testing the email delivery, I realized that clicking on that link leads to a distorted URL for the site. My site runs on a FQDN that is discourse.my.domain. However, when I click on the link to test the email, it leads to [http://community.kictanet.or.ke7d/admin/email/server-settings](http://community.kictanet.or.ke7d/admin/email/server-settings) - there is a “7d” appended to the end of the FQDN. If I remove the “7d”, the URL loads fine. Where is the “7d” coming from, and how do I ensure it doesn’t happen?

Thank you.
