Trying to install Discourse on portainer but it's not pulling the base container

Trying to install discourse on portainer butt its not pulling the base container.

Edit: I’d like to have the base docker version deployed on portainer

The only that works is the bitnami one and while it did install i’m getting the following error. How do I fix.

I’m using linode and portainer on top of docker by the way

Presume you mean Discourse not Discord?

Only standard install is supported here. Issues with bitnami would have to be sorted out with them.

How do I deploy it on portainer though. A touch new but i’ve managed to get linode and portainer and nginex proxy manager setup. Looking to install containers for apps that’ll hold subdomains for our marketplace

We’ll be using discourse for our commuity

I used this totorial I used: Connect Your Docker Containers to Domain Names For Easy Access using Portainer on Linode - YouTube

Searching “Portainer” on here reveals a few posts. (It is advised to use search before posting)

This might help: Installing Discourse using Portainer - #5 by pfaffman

As @merefield already mentioned, those third party installations are totally unsupported here.

On the off-chance that you will want any help in the future I would strongly recommend you follow the standard install.
