Hello, I use Discourse a lot because I have so many forums where I’m registered and they all use Discourse (thanks god), only a few use phpBB and I don’t like to visit this sites, but I need to!
My question is now because I like to start my own Discourse forum when the Install process will be so easy like Wordpress?
Is there something already in planning or in development to add Discourse in Softaculous or Installtron, or to create an Plesk/cPanel Extansion for discourse that does all the job of installing?
Discourse uses a set of tools that are more difficult to configure than those that wordpress uses. The standard install document is pretty easy to follow, though getting mail configured is not.
Thanks, the problem is my dream was to have it running on my Plesk server beside all my other websites, I don’t like to go for now with hosted solutions.
Having it run under plesk is much more complicated. A few people have done it, but it makes installing discourse more complicated and is difficult to get plesk to do it. You can search here, but it’s far from one click. It’s much easier to stick it on its own server.
If you follow the install document, it does everything. You just need to create an A Record pointing your hostname to the server ip using whatever you usually use to manage dns.
