¿Existen otras soluciones alternativas a la falta de moderación por categorías, como múltiples instancias del tablero?

Hola,

Me entristeció darme cuenta de que no existen permisos específicos por categoría para la moderación hasta después de haber configurado todo lo demás. Sin embargo, me gusta mucho el foro en general y estoy tratando de encontrar alguna forma de sortear esto. Veo que hay un sistema de etiquetas; ¿existe alguna manera de tener permisos personalizados basados en las etiquetas aplicadas a los hilos o algo similar?

En esencia, el objetivo principal es que el Desarrollador-A tenga la Categoría-A, el Dev-B tenga la Categoría-B, ambos puedan ver las categorías del otro, publicar en ellas y ver el resto del foro como lo harían los usuarios normales. Pero el Dev-A solo podría editar publicaciones, fijar hilos, eliminar cosas, etc., en la Categoría-A, y lo mismo para el Dev-B y la Categoría-B.

Sé que esto actualmente no es posible ni con los niveles de confianza ni con los permisos de moderación, pero ¿existe algún otro tipo de solución alternativa para restringir la edición de cualquier cosa excepto en la categoría que te ha sido asignada? Incluso si se trata simplemente de no mostrar la funcionalidad de editar o eliminar en otras categorías que no sean la propia, basándose en una configuración específica del usuario o en la pertenencia a un grupo.

Si aún así eso no es posible, ¿qué requisitos hay para configurar más de un foro dentro de la imagen de Docker, incluso si usa la misma base de datos, quizás con un prefijo diferente o algo así? En lugar de restringir por categoría, podría ser simplemente otro foro pequeño para un equipo de desarrollo. Podría crear una cuenta de administrador en cada foro y luego otorgar permisos de moderador a cada equipo en su respectivo foro para que lo configuren como deseen. Imagino que una vez que Docker y la base de datos estén en funcionamiento, ¿sería absurdo asumir que otra instancia del sitio podría funcionar independientemente desde un subdominio?

Sé que no es comparar manzanas con manzanas, pero el último foro que utilicé permitía o prohibía ediciones mediante etiquetas: se asigna un grupo a una etiqueta; si la etiqueta es una categoría principal y tienen permisos para la principal, entonces pueden hacer lo que quieran con todo lo que esté bajo ella. ¿Existen modificaciones disponibles para Discourse en esa línea?

Agradezco mucho cualquier perspectiva que alguien pueda tener sobre esto, especialmente información sobre la ejecución de múltiples instancias si tienen experiencia con su rendimiento y los pasos involucrados para lograrlo.

¡Gracias!

Cross discourse category hosting?

You can use Multisite configuration with Docker to run multiple instances.

Is there any rough (very rough, as in it uses 10% more than standard, to it uses 50% of standard is fine as long as anyone has at least used it) estimate of what % increase of resources another instance requires, I would imagine once the overall setup is there its not a crazy amount more.

It’s not much more. It might work with a 2gb server, though I’m using 4gb.

You can also use one site as the SSO master and have the others authenticate against it.

If you can trust moderators to moderate one category, can you not trust them not to moderate the others?

My site is going to be for developers of completely different teams. Some of which may be in competition with each other. Each category would be their own section for their team. There is no need or want for anyone to do any editing or moderation outside of their own section. I would handle the global moderation. Do I expect there to ever be any issues? No. Could there be? I hope not, but yes, there could be. Why risk it if I don’t have to? If each team has their own permissions and they can support their users within their own confines, then everything is good.

As far as running multiple instances. In your best estimate, how many instances could possibly be run on say, a 4gb machine, or perhaps an 8?

Given that you don’t have issues with traffic, you could definitely do eight. I think that I have more than that.

I meant how many do you think I could manage to run with 8gb of ram, but it is good to know that I could at least do 8 to start out with. I currently have 4gb in my VPC How do you have it setup? I saw people link and talk about separate containers, is that how you went about it?

Ideally I could just have one board and the categories locked down, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t seem like that is going to work. How would the SSO going back to the main DB handle permissions of the local instance? Would that not end up having the same issues just across multiple boards now instead of one? If someone is made a mod of one board, does the SSO then carry over to other boards because it is centralized or are mod / admin permissions localized just to the board in which they are assigned?

Does doing it that way let you centrally manage the users? Say user A is using board B, but its authenticating through board A, does cutting them off from board A also cut them off from board B, or does B have its own settings in which they could still get on?

Each board would have separate admins and all on. Sso would just mean that they don’t have to have multiple passwords and that logging in to one site would log you in to all.

Yes. I have separate data and web containers.

The offer possibility is that you don’t need separate moderators. It sounds like you’ll have a set of people who know each other. Do you anticipate having many messages that will need I be deleted because people are behaving badly? Perhaps you can just lock down the category and everyone will behave

It is not so much deleting things, but possibly, and occasionally. As I said, the board is for developers to be able to communicate with their users. Each developer / development team creates a different app or suite. Most of them do not know each other, but they all make plugins and what not for the same parent application, that is the only thing that ties everyone together. Which is why its important that the users can view and post in all categories, because I alone own 30-40 different plugins, so I would be all over the board. I want the dev to be able to create and manage their own FAQ, be able to sticky it at the top of their own section, be able to post tutorial videos, and also manage their own users posts if need be within their category. Each category would essentially act as their own mini forum that they manage, and each dev would be responsible for their section only.

I am paying for the hosting, doing all the setup and what not to support the developers because I want to, and I would hate to have them migrate over only to have some one else come in to their section and goof something up because they had more permission than they needed. Not one of these devs are meant to moderate the forum as a whole, because the forum as a whole is nothing but smaller subforums for each dev and their software and their users. Think of a category as its own forum, or an apartment in an overall building. You don’t want someone else to just come in to your apartment. You want a set of keys and you just do your thing in your apartment. Sure, every one of your neighbors seems like a good person, but you never know. Then here is a superintendent in case of an emergency, which would be me.

That being said, I will have to see about trying to do multi-instance and then I can just provide each dev / team their own whole forum. Unfortunately though, if that is the case, it might be better off to just find a different lighter weight forum system. I liked this one because of all the other features as well, but all of that other stuff make it pretty beefy requirement wise with all of the docker components and everything else. So it seems a bit of a waste to run several of them. I would love to be able to use this, if only it just had that one missing feature. I assumed it did when I installed it because it had every other feature under the sun from badges to tags, to a built in api, why would it not have category moderators? Every other forum out there basically does. I guess I should have specifically checked that.

Because I am still new to this forum, it may not let me reply anymore again, that happened last night as well, lol.

The only thing that I think you can do is to let non moderators pin a topic I believe that everything else you can do with normal permissions.

You can create a group and assign a group owner who can decide who can join the group. You can configure a category so that only members of the group can see it. A trust level three user can change the title and category of a topic.

A user can create and edit a FAQ.

You might get by fine with a single forum.

Thats the thing though, everyone needs to be able to see all of the categories, because someone who uses the product of one of them very well could use more than one. The only thing I want to be restricted is editing items in a category in which you are not assigned / allowed, but you can edit whatever is in your category. if you are the “owner” of it. That is pretty much what it boils down to.

We now have Category Group Reviewing. I’d love to hear if it works for your use case!
