Replaces the paywalled bitnamilegacy app with the official discourse/discourse image behind Traefik. DB is reused as-is; uploads migrate from the legacy bitnami volume idempotently. The wrapper entrypoint injects the db_password and smtp_password secrets (the official image has no *_FILE support). SMTP env vars are renamed to the official names; release notes cover the migration. Recipe 0.8.1+3.5.0 -> 1.0.0+3.5.3 (major: new image, env/volume/port changes).

Note
: this recipe runs the official, experimental

Basic usage
- Set up Docker Swarm and
abra - Deploy
coop-cloud/traefik abra app new discourse --secretsabra app config YOURAPPDOMAIN— setDOMAINandDISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILSabra app deploy YOURAPPDOMAIN- Open the configured domain in your browser to finish set-up. The first account
that registers with an address listed in
DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILSbecomes an admin.
The app serves plain HTTP on port 80; Traefik terminates TLS in front of it. The
image's built-in nginx/Let's Encrypt is disabled by the recipe (install-ssl
override) so it works behind the reverse proxy.
Add an admin user
abra app run YOURAPPDOMAIN app discourse admin create
Migrating from the previous (bitnami) recipe
The official image stores uploads under /shared rather than bitnami's
/bitnami/discourse. On first boot the recipe copies uploads + backups from the
old bitnami volume (mounted read-only at /legacy) into /shared, once,
idempotently. The Postgres database is reused as-is. After a successful migration
a later recipe version will drop the transitional /legacy mount.
If you are upgrading from the bitnami recipe, also remove the now-unused sidekiq service that swarm leaves behind (sidekiq runs inside the app container now):
docker service rm YOURSTACK_sidekiq
