Hey guys, I looked around but I couldn’t see a guide on how to host Discourse on domain.com/forum with SSL, using nginx as a reverse proxy. Currently, I’m running the forum on a subdomain - forum.domain.com and What I have in mind is, I’ll use nginx to secure the connection between the user and my …

Here’s what I’d suggest. Follow this guide to setup subfolder support: [画像] Serve Discourse from a subfolder (path prefix) instead of a subdomain Self-Hosting warning Discourse Official Statement about Subfolder setup We support subfolder setups for our hosted…

Thanks for the reply. I tried the subfolder tutorial earlier today but it wouldn’t rebuild after I entered the run commands at the end of app.yml root@legio:/var/discourse# ./launcher rebuild app Ensuring launcher is up to date Fetching origin Launcher is up-to-date Stopping old container + /usr/bi…

That means you have a syntax error in your app.yml file. Try copying your yml into http://www.yamllint.com/ and see what errors are thrown. If that doesn’t help, please share the file here, making sure to remove/redact credentials.

Yeah, I gathered as much, but it does build properly without the run commands from that guide. I’ll try a few more things and get back to you with the file. If anyone else has any ideas, let me know.

Just for reference, unless something changed in the last month, I used both those guides without issue (before I joined the team).

The thing is, I don’t think it’s necessary to use the docker ports at all. All I want to do is reverse proxy into Discourse from /forum, and have it work. Now rebuilding the app closes my SSH session as soon as it starts chowning /var/www/discourse and it’s driving me up the wall.

Okay what I did was entered the app, then moved all of the assets in /var/www/discourse/public into a subdirectory called forum, then I moved back images/ and uploads/ and it all works great. I think the issue is that the subdirectory got called for some assets, but not others. I think this might …

I strongly advise you to not run subfolder. You are signing up for a lot of suffering.

Can’t afford a wildcard certificate at this point, otherwise I wouldn’t think about it twice. :frowning: Out of curiosity though, what kind of suffering? @codinghorror

To start, as you are discovering it is substantially more work to set up. There are also many more places where something can go wrong, like SSL and your reverse proxy. Historically there have also been a fair number of subfolder specific bugs, and they are harder to debug. You’ve mentioned “can’t …

Indeed. Maybe I’ll change my setup until wildcards become available with letsencrypt.
