I’m in the process of creating a new website, having Discourse as forums software. I plan to use the same approach you currently do:

  • a static frontpage
  • a /blog category
  • a /forums category (Discourse)

I like the blog format you use now, thank you for your suggestions.

Wordpress :slight_smile:

There is a Discourse plugin which allows you to integrate the commenting (among other things).

Thank you, I was hoping it is Ghost for Docker or some Discourse plugin for Hugo. :slight_smile:
I’m thinking to use Hugo and embed the Discourse comments. If anyone else have suggestions, please share them. Since we use Docker for Discourse, it could also make sense to use a dockerized Ghost? I like the Hugo simplicity and speed.

I use ghost + Discourse for my blog at blog.codinghorror.com so yes that can work too.

That is great @codinghorror, any advice you have for Ghost integration with Discourse? I plan to use a multiple container configuration with Docker-CE.
