+1 for this.
Most popular. But missing in coolify :(

What's the best way to install it on Coolify?

Can we use the from git repo installation? https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git

Since Discourse is not using Docker Compose, but an own launcher, I wasn't ready to integrate it deep.
What I wanted and achieved is Discourse running on Coolify server, being routed through the in-built Traefik to the correct container.

Host is running https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker and the latest Coolify v4.0.0-beta.360.

This required only a tiny Discourse re-configuration. To do it, in /var/discourse/containers/app.yml I disabled the socketed server and then used labels and docker_args to set up Traefik to find the Discourse, handle HTTP->HTTPS redirection, get certificates and proxy requests from FORUM-HOSTNAME.COM to Discourse container:

templates:
  - "templates/postgres.template.yml"
  - "templates/redis.template.yml"
  - "templates/web.template.yml"
  ## Uncomment the next line to enable the IPv6 listener
  #- "templates/web.ipv6.template.yml"
  - "templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml"
  ## Uncomment these two lines if you wish to add Lets Encrypt (https)
#  - "templates/web.ssl.template.yml"
#  - "templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml"
#  - "templates/web.socketed.template.yml"

## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose?
## If you want Discourse to share a port with another webserver like Apache or nginx,
## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247 for details
expose:
#  - "80:80"   # http
#  - "443:443" # https

docker_args:
  - '--network=coolify'

labels:
  app_name: discourse
  traefik.enable: true

  traefik.http.middlewares.discourse_redirect2https.redirectscheme.scheme: https
  traefik.http.middlewares.gzip.compress: true

  traefik.http.routers.discourse.rule: Host(`FORUM-HOSTNAME.COM`)
  traefik.http.routers.discourse.entrypoints: http
  traefik.http.routers.discourse.middlewares: discourse_redirect2https

  traefik.http.routers.discourse_secure.rule: Host(`FORUM-HOSTNAME.COM`)
  traefik.http.routers.discourse_secure.entrypoints: https
  traefik.http.routers.discourse_secure.tls: true
  traefik.http.routers.discourse_secure.tls.certresolver: letsencrypt
  traefik.http.routers.discourse_secure.middlewares: gzip
  traefik.http.services.discourse_secure.loadbalancer.server.port: 80

Great, thanks. Can you give a more detailed tutorial on how to install this version via Coolify?
Do I install this via "Public Repository"?
Do I still use Nixpacks as Build Pack or Docker?
The Discourse re-configuration will be done after the successfull installation, correct? Can I also use this with Caddy as Proxy?

i watch it , thanks for help, Alexander

no news?

[Cristy94]

If anyone is interested, I ended up writing my own docker-compose file for Discourse, using the Bitnami Discourse image, and it seems to work. I wrote a short guide for running Discourse on Coolify here.

[onlinejo]

nice, but you tutorials is very short lol

[Cristy94]

nice, but you tutorials is very short lol

Isn't that a good thing?
Is there anything missing?

It's mostly about copying the docker-compose I provided and replacing the password. You should then have it up and running and can follow the Discourse initial setup/config interface from the IP/domain link you set in Coolify.
