Bootstrapping takes between **2-8 minutes** to set up your Discourse. If you need to change these settings after bootstrapping, you can run `./discourse-setup` again (it will read your old values from the file) or edit `/containers/app.yml` with `nano` and then `./launcher rebuild app`, otherwise your changes will not take effect. +**NOTE:** You should not attempt to enable Let's Encrypt unless the DNS record for hostname resolves to your server. You can run `./discourse-setup` again later to make any changes. + ### Start Discourse Once bootstrapping is complete, your Discourse should be accessible in your web browser via the domain name `discourse.example.com` you entered earlier, provided you configured DNS. If not, you can visit the server IP directly, e.g. `http://192.168.1.1`.
