Discourse Forum Setup

1. Pick domain for trial (probably bobbushman.com)
   1. Correction - using experiencemaking.com since email is already set up
2. Setup email for domain
   1. AWS Mail
      • Cheating - Experiencemaking.com is already set up. :D
   2. DNS registry setup
      • Cheating - Experiencemaking.com is already set up. :D
   3. Admin account for Let's Encrypt cert
      • created forum.admin@experiencemaking.com
3. Create Lightsail node
   • Created a $5 node.
   • Assigned static IP: 44.238.32.225
   • opened port 443 (HTTPS) through firewall
4. DNS registry for forum.experiencemaking.com
   • done
   • Login successful. It's alive!
5. Apt Update
   • sudo apt update
   • sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
   • sudo reboot # if needed
6. Install Extras
   • sudo apt install git
   • sudo apt install netcat
7. Install Discourse
   1. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md
      1. $ sudo -s
      2. $ git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse
      3. $ cd /var/discourse
      4. Going to take a stab at doing this without SPF. I've already got DKIM, and Amazon SES does ses.amazon.com SPF. We'll see. Easy enough to try again.
      5. $ ./discourse-setup
8. ------------------
9. Set ports (at some point)
