First follow one of those guides to move discourse to another port and remove the ssl and let’s encrypt templates and rebuild. Then tell your reverse proxy to use that port.

What if I install CloudPanel first, and create a reverse proxy in the interface… [cloudpanel-app-selector] [cloudpanel-reverse-proxy-settings] … and/or in the Vhost Editor… [cloudpanel-vhost-editor] [image] CloudPanel 2.2.1 Release: Reverse Proxy Support and New Languages CloudPan…

It doesn’t matter. As long as Discourse doesn’t use ports 80/443 because conflict will crash your reverse proxy Discourse doesn’t use SSL but exposing port 80 to that port what reverse proxy uses to backend So it doesn’t matter means Discourse must be set up as backend before you start reverse pr…

It is. As a relative newcomer to Discourse, the right way to do this looks something like: Temporarily disable your reverse proxy. Install Discourse with SSL/Lets Encrypt disabled Verify a working install on :80 Change the discourse port to 81 or another nonstandard port, or better still use a so…

You can’t use discourse-setup for your setup. If you edited it then run ./launcher rebuild app

Miracle of miracles – we did it! Thank you for all of your help! I’ll document the procedure in the Topic post above.

OK just stuck on a (small, I think) thing… To create a second Discourse instance I create and edit the app2.yml, and the server_name.conf for the second Discourse, changing the DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME and the server_name. But then… how do I build the app2? I tried: service nginx restart ./launcher st…
