I hope you can get something after reading this article. Let's take a look at this "how to install Discourse Forum on Ubuntu Linux16.04" article.

Discourse is an open source popular modern forum tool, built using Ruby on Rails and Postgres, you can call Redis cache to reduce read time, it is very easy to customize, well-structured, and it provides conversion plug-ins that can convert your existing forums and bulletin boards.

Install docker and Git

Let's get started! At least 1 gigabyte of memory is required, and the officially supported installation process requires that docker is already installed. Speaking of docker, it also needs to install Git. To meet the above two requirements, we only need to run the following command:

Wget-qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

It won't be long before docker and Git are installed, and after installation, create a Discourse folder in the / var partition on your system (you can choose another partition, of course).

Mkdir / var/discourse

Clone Github repository

Now let's clone Discourse's Github repository to this newly created folder.

Git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git / var/discourse

Enter the folder of the clone.

Cd / var/discourse

You will see the "discourse-setup" script file, which you will run to initialize the Discourse.

. / discourse-setup

Note: please make sure that you have installed the mail server before installing discourse.

installation wizard

The installation wizard will ask you the following six questions:

Hostname for your Discourse?Email address for admin account?SMTP server address?SMTP user name?SMTP port [587]: SMTP password? []:

Now "wait and relax", it will take some time to complete the installation, pour a cup of coffee and see if there are any error messages.

After a successful installation, it should look like this.

Now open the browser, if you have done the domain name resolution, you can use your domain name to connect to the Discourse page, otherwise you can only use the IP address. You will see the following message:
