I have managed to make discourse backups from my two simple machines forums, and they’ve been resting on my hard disk ever since. (Our two older forums, that is.) I’d like to change this, so that we have two archives forums and the current one running at the same time and accessible, e.g.
`oldforum.address.com`
`olderforum.address.com`
`www.address.com` (new forum)
Is there an easy guide for setting up multisite (or whatever is the correct term for this)? I tried looking but got a bit confused…

Here is the “easy” guide. It’s not that easy for the uninitiated. And it assumes that you know how to set up a reverse proxy. With https. And all sites share the same smtp credentials.
You’ll need at least 2gb to run it, so three 1gb droplets is only $5 more per month.
I’ll soon have a multisite install package, but it’s likely beyond your budget.

Oops. Still in my copy buffer!

> warning While multisite is supported in the Discourse application, this is an advanced sysadmin setup. If you don’t know what you’re doing, do not set up multisite. The Discourse team is unable to provide multisite configuration support. If you wish to host multiple domains on a singled Docker setup, you’ll need a multisite configuration. Here are the basic building blocks for one. Understand hooks Multisite is a fairly advanced topic. Before attempting a multisite build, spend some time…
