Case Study: Royal Mencap Society simplifies Discourse hosting with Code Enigma

Royal Mencap Society gets self-sufficient forum hosting with Code Enigma

Royal Mencap Society, a UK-based charity supporting people with learning disabilities, faced a challenge in hosting their Discourse discussion forum software. As they were using the open-source version to manage costs, they needed to overcome the complexity of its Docker-only installation, which was difficult to run natively on their server. Code Enigma was engaged to resolve this technical hosting issue.

Code Enigma implemented a solution by setting up a custom Docker installation on an AWS EC2 instance. This approach successfully hosted the Discourse forum, navigating its technical complexities. The key result was that Royal Mencap Society became largely self-sufficient, able to manage their own deployments with Code Enigma providing support as needed. This empowered the client while effectively solving their initial challenge.
