Hi,
sorry, it's hard to get Discourse running on alexandria:

1) Only Docker in 64bit x64 is supported. It most likely does not support
arm64 server that is alexandria currently.

2) Not all node packages work on arm64, for example with Wekan I have
trouble with getting fibers working, and probably many others would need to
be built from source, and most likely modified to run on arm.

3) I don't know is all of Rails etc available for arm. So it would be a
major effort to get Discourse running on arm.

4) In theory, on arm64 could run qemu for x64 and inside it Discourse in
Docker, slowly, because it's emulating other CPU. Most likely it would be
too slow to be usable.

Current email and web interface already works. It would take a lot of work
and maintenance time to get even to the same functionality that already
exists, so I don't know what problem we would be trying to solve by
changing to Discourse.

BR,
xet7
