Does Docker manager come with Core plugins? If so, does disabling it allow me to fork core plugins and add my own features? Let me know. Thanks!

I fixed it. However the only issue is if they have a similar username with oauth2 it doesn’t override their username or display name. So for one of the Oauth2 providers I had to swap username and name.

If self hosted just comes with Docker you can add customized(forked) plugins in the app.yml – No need to disable Docker. Here is the plugin install guide. [image] Install plugins on a self-hosted site Self-Hosting warning This guide assumes that you have a self-hosted standard installation. We only support the standard method of install here, so these instructions assume you have a standard install. warning This guide only applies to self-hosted Discourse instances. If you are using a managed hosting service, the available plugins are controlled by your hosting provider. For example, on our hosting these specific plugins are available by hosting tier. information_source As of mid-2025, many p…

It’s not letting me disable some core plugins even though my site is self-hosted. I forked the Discord login plugin but since it is part of core my configurations keep getting overridden. Edit: Here is my site: forum.money-developers.com It’s not respecting my forked plugins due to the core plugin overriding the forked plugin.

Any plugins not merged in core can be disabled in the app.yml If say for example you wanted to disable Chat in favour of a modified version. You would likely need to change it’s name and ensure maybe it uses it’s own install directory I don’t recall a Discord plugin being in core. That might be different as that is a login Plugins or features merged with core. May need special handling to create a custom one to use instead. Plugins merged in core are apart of the main program. I don’t believe Docker has any control over them I tried to install chat after missing the update it was merged in core. This caused a rebuild fail.

I’m talking about the Discord auth login

I will try changing the name of my plugin to see if that will work.

I edited my post above. Plugins merged in core are no longer seperate plugins. You might be able to create a custom plugin alternative. But you would need an experienced plugin author who has in depth knowledge of this. Changing the name might help but not sure what all you would need to change to make it more independent.

There is a #dev category that may help to get the guidance you’re looking for

I will send you the repo link because I read something that said you no longer have to install the plugin because it is included in core. So when I try to modify and install it the plugin doesn’t work. Edit: Here is the repo link discourse/discourse-plugin-discord-auth: A Discourse plugin to login over Discord

Alright, got it. This is indeed odd. Just curious, in what way are you trying to modifying it?

I will try to use this repo instead:
discourse/discourse-oauth2-basic: A basic OAuth2 plugin for use with Discourse
I will disable the default built-in Discord auth to see if it fixes it.
