Wanted to ask this right at beginning, but decided to figure out how stuff works before. So if I understand correctly, you run Ubuntu on server, on Ubuntu there’s Docker, on Docker there’s another Ubuntu, and on this Ubuntu there’s Discourse. That’s a lot of Ubuntus for me. Why don’t just install Di…

While I don’t think “using Docker” is an issue per-se, I’d like to point out that I run discourse since the early days on a standard Debian stable running on a cheap vServer that offers 2GB of RAM, on which I’m unable to run Docker. And since the early days of Discourse I’ve been updating my Discour…

[画像] Flow: please try to avoid breaking it in a way so that Discourse can eventually only be used via Docker. As long as Discourse remains a Rails application, I can’t see this happening. Besides, Docker containers are not sealed boxes; you could always clone discourse_docker, look at the Doc…

[画像] elberet: As long as Discourse remains a Rails application, I can’t see this happening. \o/ I guess my main concern is that at some point in the future, Debian stable will not be sufficient to run Discourse.

That, on the other hand, might actually happen. Debian is… a bit conservative when it comes to integrating new major verions into older releases of their distro, and according to the package search , anything newer than Ruby 1.9.3 is only available on a “testing” or “unstable” system. And Ruby 1.9.3…

For the record, I’m running Gentoo… no troubles there. Installing a Discourse dev environment is almost a oneliner, except that when you hit enter, your machine will be busy compiling god-only-knows-what for half an hour. :grin:

[画像] codinghorror: Debian is horrible. Care to elaborate? As far as I can tell debian (stable) provides an execution environment that’ sufficient for discourse without docker. And some (most?) cheap VPS boxes don’t allow you to run docker, but will give you 20- GiB of disk space and 2GiB RAM…

Which procedure are we talking about? If Docker is involved, the whole thing is completely independent from the host’s package manager and package sources.

Why does Discourse have to use Docker?

Debian is horrible. We don’t recommend it. You can’t even run Docker on it for the same reason.

Your Docker installation is not working correctly?
