Developer needed for Discourse self-hosted issue

Apiento is seeking a developer to troubleshoot a Discourse forum hosted on Digital Ocean that suddenly disappeared. The original developer is uncomfortable with Digital Ocean, and Apiento is looking for someone with expertise in this area to resolve the issue.

merefield moved the post to the Marketplace and offered to connect Apiento with potential developers. pfaffman and PankajGRZ responded to the post, but Apiento mentioned that their offers weren’t what he was looking for.

Stephen suggested that Apiento might need to be more specific about his needs and that the issue might be related to budget. However, Apiento clarified that he had a budget in mind, but the previous offers weren’t suitable. He eventually found a solution to the issue.

Hey All

I have (had) a quite popular forum for music via my Test Pressing site (testpressing.org) and one day the forum just disappeared. It’s hosted on Digital Ocean so I need someone I can pay a bit of money to to have a quick look and see if they can trouble shoot. I don’t think it’s a big issue it just needs replugging back in in the correct order. The dev that set it up is scared witless of Digital Ocean so looking for someone who knows their way around that…

Hope thats ok to ask for help here! Cheers, Paul (Apiento).

Not a problem. I could name at least 3 people who might pick this up but have no idea if they are busy or not, so let’s see. Good luck!

Thanks man. Appreciated. I honestly think it’s something pretty simple it’s just far far beyond any skillset I have.

Two people have responded to you, maybe you need to be more specific as to your needs if they were unable to help?

If your issue is budget I would recommend taking this back to Support and getting some guidance there.

Try to remember that you’re not paying for the time it takes to fix the problem, but the expertise it requires for someone to be able to pinpoint and fix quickly. If it’s simple then it’s probably within your gift to stretch a little and learn.

@stephen - I had the budget for what I thought was fair. It was a reset of a server but one was a subscription service which was a yearly fee and the other guys I tried to jump on a zoom with and couldn’t hear them down the line so that wasn’t going to work either. Fixed now though. Just want to be clear that I was doing the correct thing.
