  1. Double nginx idea: Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse - #269 by sam - Self-Hosting - Discourse Meta
  2. add the nginx stream module: unknown directive "stream" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:86 - Server Fault
  3. Configure discourse: edit /var/discourse/containers/app.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

  - "3001:80"   # http
