Hi everyone, I was thinking about self-hosting a Discourse forum, and I wanted to know 2 things: Where should I host the forum on? Docker, or my Raspberry Pi? How would I deploy it if it’s on my Pi/Docker? I’m still unsure about the options; personally, I’m fine with either for 1, but for 2, that’s the main question.

@merefield May I ask why not install it (Docker) on my computer instead? What difference would it really make?

The easiest way to install Discourse is and has always been deploying to a VPS in the cloud. Deploying locally on any computer is less optimal, but can be done. Often people have a raspberry pi lying around not always fully engaged and it’s a fun and educational hobby project to do. Running on your main PC? Well I don’t think you want sessions of Rocket League impacting performance of your Discourse instance? :slight_smile:

Right. I’ll try out the Pi setup and see what I can do. Will post back here if I have any updates.

Is that a tacit admission of Rocket League participation? :wink: Good luck!

Quick question, will it be free if I follow the guide on the Github repo? Or will DigitalOcean be paid?

Digital Ocean is but one supplier you can use for a VPS install. If you are using a Raspberry Pi you will not be using Digital Ocean. I suspect you will have to pay for an Email Service provider to handle outgoing emails though, but follow the guide.

Should be the last question: Could I do this instead? [imagen] Install Discourse for development using Docker Developer Guides Developing using Docker Since Discourse runs in Docker, you should be able to run Discourse directly from your source directory using a Discourse development container. white_check_mark Pros: No need to install any system dependencies, no configuration needed at all for setting up a development environment quickly. x Cons: Will be slightly slower than the native dev environment on Ubuntu, and much slower than a native install on MacOS.

What is it you want? A working production install or a development install? This is for the latter

Debería ser la última pregunta:
¿Podría hacer esto en su lugar?
