No discourse is extremely expensive. Use something such as flarum, or even self host/use a vps. But do not use discourse hosting options. It would cost over a thousand dollars a year. If you need a vps, use vultr.com it is affordable, and if I am correct, charges a base amount and not by hour.
Discourse is free and therefore open-source, which is what we weâre talking about here, not their paid hosting

What do you mean by that?
Its open source meaning anyone can download its code

What I mean is, discorse would typically cost a lot. Unless you were to host everything for it which would be probably more expesive.
nowadays, no one pays when they could get it for free
a fork lol
Glitch also has 2GB if boosted
Yes, but it will still most likely not work.
Still no Docker, which is the big issue. Discourse is also really big software.
Later, I am going to try to setup flarum on glitch, might be too big.
Maybe you could even set up a more lightweight forum. It may not have all the bells and whistles, but it can do the trick.
Just tried it. Was too big. Couldnât figure out NodeBB and someone here said it was also too big 
Yeah, Flarum has sooo many dependencies. I have it on my Pi. The vendor folder is 52 megabytes, which isnât that bad (but still).
This is why I was making my own in Node. It wonât be great, but I know it will run on Glitch and can be trusted. I might get back into making it.

Do share when you have it all set up!

You should actually try to make a package. It would save people a lot of time and a lot fo stres.
