But that is exactly my point. A system that does require much more resources to set up is a bit fishy in my eyes. Also my point still stands: As far as I see discourse uses docker containers for deployment. Wouldn’t it be possible to set up the container on a local machine, export the set up

Well you can dynamically increase CPU or RAM or both on Digitalocean that I use. You can do it on a temporary basis - but I'm not sure if you get charged for a month or on a strict time basis, it's hard to find out!. It's not a matter of needing a separate system. My only issue is that I am ver

I should add that a normal fresh install does not require large RAM. It's only the mbox import script. I think it's poorly written and does not constrain itself when it comes to memory. Andrew On 6/03/2023 1:29 pm, Andrew Bernard wrote: On 6/03/2023 3:04 am, Valentin Petzel wrote: I suppose

No. You misunderstand. Discourse is quite compact. The 8GB of RAM is only required temporarily for importing 20+ years worth of mbox files. My Discourse servers all run fine in 2GB of RAM, with unlimited posts, which are just in a database on disk. On 6/03/2023 3:04 am, Valentin Petzel wrote:

Hello Andrew, I suppose a system that requires by a large factor more resources for installation that it requires to run is not really a good way to do it. Renting an 8GB Server when you only need that 8GB for setup sounds a bit daft. I do not know if renting a server dedicated to managing a ha
