Hey on this note, I was looking to do discourse with the mumble plugin but I wanted to do this via docker compose. Has anyone gotten that to work or have a good source they can point me to since at least on the discorse mumble plugin I noticed that it stated that their install instructions were for the stock non-docker solution only.

oh wow this is exactly what I was looking for but with mattermost. Gonna have to give this a try later and I'll see. What are you having trouble installing, the plug-in?
Right now I'm just getting discourse to run via docker compose. I have that up and running finally and got to the splash screen locally but of course it needs a domain so I'm working on that route while my reverse proxy is throwing a fit.
I haven't gotten to the plugin yet but just reading up on the git documentation it sounded like running it in a docker compose isn't officially supported so I was just posting to see if maybe someone had has some experience and could offer up some pointers before I bang my head against a wall this weekend.
I think Matrix is the most suitable alternative. For me at least. The Element web and desktop app is almost on level with discord and on matrix.org and other popular instances you get element call too. Plus people already use it.
