Iam trying to install Discourse via Docker on my local machine.
I clone discourse docker to my folder:
git clone https://github.com/SamSaffron/discourse_docker.git discourse
then I ran
sudo ./launcher
to download the docker image. Now Iam confused what to do. I tried to start
sudo ./discourse-setup
but it stopped because I have an apache running on port 80:
Port 80 appears to already be in use.
If you are trying to run Discourse simultaneously with another web
server like Apache or nginx, you will need to bind to a different port
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247
If you are reconfiguring an already-configured Discourse, use
./launcher stop app
to stop Discourse before you reconfigure it and try again.
So Iam told to lookup this page https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247, and there I read:
If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX proxy in front of the Docker container.
Do I really need to install nginx now? I thought, I can just bind a docker container to a specific port?! And Iam confused why I had to git clone this repo, shouldn't that all be placed inside the docker image?
edit: because of the first answer, I cheated in the setup file and changed the port (line 230). But that only passed the check, didnt change anything and leads to this error after running some time:
/usr/bin/docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint app (c4af1d602e59c05b2d5bdb1de59aab89e6b591c6fb26ceebb18f0a0dc4abbf6d): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: listen: address already in use.
