Archiving Discourse into a Website

Hi all!

I’ve had a forum running for over a decade and over time it has lost relevance. The topic around what the forum was built served its purpose.

I’ve financially sponsored hosting over the years but I wonder what is a good way to convert the forum to more of a regular site. I’d love to change the forum to read only but there are some hosting costs that I need to cover associated to hosting discourse on a third party service. It doesn’t make much sense to keep the full forum going.

Wondering if there is a way I can download the DB and create a static site out of it.

Thanks for the suggestions!

There are several discussions about this. Most of them redirect to A basic Discourse archival tool

There’s also Any updates on the best way to create a HTML archive of a static site?

I don’t know if the tools provided in those still work.
