Hello, so I have moved my site to Ghost. I’m hosting on DO $5 droplet and recently added a swap file.
Now I want to also host a small Discourse forum on subdomain.
Do you think I can do it on one $5 droplet? Or do I need another one?
You’ll be much better off with a separate droplet. Discourse is quite resource heavy, the 1GB ram is a minimum for it to run as long as you also have swap enabled. Ghost and Discourse also use different database systems so you’ll have both of those contending for memory too.
