Oh, I see. Well, that would probably have given me headaches too. My first discourse installation was certainly not 30 minutes (more like 30 hours) but that was also due to the fact that I didn’t take the easy route. I went straight for setting it up together with a WordPress install behind a reverse proxy. I learned a lot, but it was only with my second instance that I realized just how easy the setup is when you just use the setup script. I was like whaaa? And it’s even https?? Without me doing anything? With my third instance I might have made it within the 30 minutes, [if only I had gone with mailgun](https://meta.discourse.org/t/remove-or-merge-elastic-email-unsubscribe/70236/9).
