Having looked at a few different platforms, I think that Discourse will be the best platform for our volunteer group. I’m not fully sure how best to build it so that it is very cheap to run for the first few months of piloting, but then can easily scale to perhaps a few hundred concurrent users. I…

[изображение] edanto: I have no experience with Docker and my linux skillz are limited to googling, Crtl C Ctrl V. Frankly, with that level of skill you’re going to be really pushing it to get anything solid and “scalable” on EC2. There’s lots of moving parts to Discourse, and while you can …

Thanks Matt - is this the best/current guide to doing that on DO? [изображение] Discourse | DigitalOcean Marketplace 1-Click App The popular Ruby-on-Rails-based discussion platform As regards Amazon, we have our existing infrastructure of 15 wordpress (multit…

The best documentation is our own 30 minute install guide . The DO one-click installer forces you to use a bigger droplet than you really need.

I have been able to find a colleague with Amazon/Linux skills. With that resource, would anyone be able to point me to a resource that describes how to build/install discourse to plan for scale (hundreds of concurrent users at peak times). What about the links in my first post?

So something similar to this? [изображение] Discourse Topic Voting Plugin discourse2 Summary Discourse Topic Voting lets community members vote on topics in designated categories. open_book Install Guide This plugin is bundled with Discourse core. The…

That plug-in seems absolutely perfect, thanks. I’ll have to note the beta version (when the thread started) that may be needed to support it. I’m really impressed with how mature and slick discourse is to use. We’ve been piloting slack for a small group, and it’s good, but discourse will really su…

[изображение] edanto: would anyone be able to point me to a resource that describes how to build/install discourse to plan for scale I’m not aware of anything Discourse-specific, but there’s hundreds or thousands of opinions “out there” about how to scale Rails, PostgreSQL, and Redis, and Dis…
