Hey @akhil thanks for taking the time to write all of this up and your hard work on getting Forem installed on your DO account. We are actually in the process of finishing up a Forem Selfhost repo that will streamline a lot of this process for users on Digital Ocean, AWS and Google Compute. Be sure to keep an eye out on forem.dev for news about that.
Can’t wait to see this @jdoss 🌞😀
Yes, I'm with you.
Really want to see this!
I have been trying for a while, so far painfully and unsuccessful!
@jdoss Hi, any update its 2023, I want to host Forem in digital ocean
Looking through this now but also just wanted to say thank you for documenting this! I know it will be helpful for a lot of people and I really appreciate you taking the time to put in to words all the things you have been learning while working to set up Forem for yourself.
I hope one day, I will be able to write detailed documentation of Forem from development -> production to the majority of its users (personal -> enterprise)
I'm not good with web development, especially with ruby on rails. So by documenting, I can be a part of this community :)
Definitely. Documentation is vital and super helpful! It is definitely a great contribution to this community.
@navjotbabrah Thanks for adding more context here. If you would like to see what Forem looks like locally you can use the forem/forem repo. Forem is the software that powers all of the forems and what the self-host repo uses as well. If you want to deploy your own Forem we suggest using the forem/selfhost repo :) Let me know if you have any questions.
Hey @navjotbabrah The self-host repo is github.com/forem/selfhost.git.
Akhil has done a wonderful job setting up their Forem and creating some guides on how they did it.
If you are looking to get support from the Forem team in the future please follow the steps in the self-host repo github.com/forem/selfhost or in these official guides.
forem.dev/foremteam/self-host-quic...
You can also feel free to follow Akhil's guides as well. We at Forem just can't offer support for that set up if you run in to problems in the future. However the community here may be able to answer your questions.
Thanks!
Is it possible to run forem production with apache instead of nginx
Think of it like this. Forem service will be open on port 3000. DNS providers don't accept random ports(most of them only prefer 80 and 443, which is plain IP).
So, any service that port forward the service port 3000 to 80 is fine.
I have set up a ProxyPass on 127.0.0.1:3000/, and the website runs successfully, but when I close the terminal window, the website also stops.
Is there a way forem to still run even when I close the terminal window
Use tmux
Overmind has handled tmux for you by running as a daemon, here's the command line to launch the application instead of using
bin/startup:overmind s -D -f Procfile.devIf you have any doubts, let me know in the comment section.
Hey! how I can contact you, bro? I have a lot of question.
My Facebook
If you are not a fb user, you can mail me: admin@leewardslope.com
If you are not good with emails, suggest me your prefered social media platforms.
I've sent a friendship request on Facebook and LinkedIn. When you have a free time, I want to discuss about installation of Forem on Heroku. I couldn't install it, heroku throw some errors.
Great stuff!
I am really curious about the contents of the nginx.conf file. I will be grateful if you share the nginx.conf file of the DO instance.
There are lot of other nginx configurations within my file, so I cant directly share it.
I can guide you though.
