hey guys  
I wanna create a nice little website + community board just like “[www.discourse.org](http://www.discourse.org)”  
I have the PowerWeb Basic bundle from [strato](https://www.strato.de/hosting/) that means: domains, webspace and email accounts  
at first I used the install-cloud documentation to get discourse on the server  
but then I realised that the server is running SunOS  
is it possible to install discourse on SunOS?

I also have a v-server from strato with ubuntu 14.04  
can I install discourse on the ubuntu-server with the domain and emails from the SunOS server?  
the install documention confuses me :s  
would be really nice if you could help me

I wouldn’t bother trying to wedge Discourse onto a SunOS/Solaris box; it’ll almost certainly end badly. You can definitely run Discourse (via Docker) on the Ubuntu 14.04 VPS and relay mail through the Solaris box, though.
