Existem outras soluções alternativas para não ter moderação por categoria, como múltiplas instâncias do fórum?

Olá,

Fiquei triste ao perceber que não havia permissões específicas por categoria para moderação só depois de ter configurado tudo. No entanto, gosto muito do fórum em geral e estou tentando encontrar uma maneira de contornar isso. Vi que existe um sistema de tags; há alguma forma de ter permissões personalizadas com base nas tags aplicadas aos tópicos ou algo similar?

Basicamente, o objetivo principal é o seguinte: o Desenvolvedor A tem acesso à Categoria A, o Desenvolvedor B à Categoria B. Ambos conseguem ver as categorias um do outro, postar nelas e ver o restante do fórum como usuários normais. Porém, o Dev A só pode editar posts, fixar tópicos, excluir coisas etc. dentro da Categoria A, e o mesmo vale para o Dev B na Categoria B.

Sei que isso não é possível atualmente nem com os níveis de confiança nem com as permissões de moderação. Mas existe alguma outra solução alternativa para restringir a edição de qualquer coisa, exceto na categoria em que o usuário está designado? Mesmo que seja apenas ocultar as funcionalidades de editar ou excluir em outras categorias que não a sua, com base em configurações específicas do usuário ou de associação a grupos.

Se mesmo assim isso não for possível, quais são os requisitos para configurar mais de um fórum dentro da imagem Docker, mesmo que use o mesmo banco de dados, talvez com um prefixo diferente ou algo assim? Em vez de restringir por categoria, poderia ser apenas outro pequeno fórum para uma equipe de desenvolvimento. Poderia criar uma conta de administrador em cada fórum e conceder permissões de moderador a cada equipe em seu respectivo fórum, permitindo que configurem como desejarem. Imagino que, uma vez que o Docker e o banco de dados estejam rodando, seria absurdo supor que outra instância do site pudesse funcionar independentemente a partir de um subdomínio?

Sei que não é comparar coisas equivalentes, mas o último fórum que usei permitia ou bloqueava edições com base em tags: um grupo era associado a uma tag; se a tag fosse pai e o grupo tivesse permissões para o pai, então tudo abaixo disso poderia ser feito conforme julgasse conveniente. Existem modificações disponíveis para o Discourse nesse sentido?

Agradeço muito qualquer insight que alguém possa ter sobre isso, especialmente informações sobre a execução de múltiplas instâncias, caso tenha experiência com o desempenho e os passos necessários para realizá-lo.

Obrigado!

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!
