https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/install-run-discourse-for-free-in-the-oracle-cloud This blog post is from last year. I didn’t see any mention here; I think Oracle as a hosting company is off the radar for most people. So, before I posted I decided to try it myself to see if it’s really viable.…

nvm fixed it [图片] Discourse won't install because I have 960MB of ram and not 1GB Discourse Discourse System Administration Over at meta discourse, Kloxified asks: Discourse …

Correct, because your server doesn’t have enough physical RAM. It failed the system requirements check, so installation didn’t proceed. You need 1GB RAM to install, and a 1GB system will also need swap. You don’t have 1GB, your system isn’t supported. See: [图片] Discourse won't in…

one addition to the free Oracle tier - you can also select the new “Ampere” ARM instances, with up-to 4 cores and 12 GB of RAM in the free tier. Installation of Discourse works without a glitch on ARM processors apparently, and performance is pretty impressive too. Just installed - will see how it h…
