cuo_wu introduced a custom plugin allowing Discourse to function as an OAuth2/OIDC Provider, enabling users to create their own applications. This solution builds upon the Parkour-Vienna/distrust project to fill a gap in official Discourse features. The setup requires a MySQL/MariaDB database, configuration of distrust.yml, RSA key generation, and linking the provider in the Discourse admin panel. Once running on port 3000, users can access an interface to manage apps, view client secrets, and authorize logins. satonotdead shared an English translation of the post, noting their lack of technical expertise but interest in the tool. DaBai_LuoBo and whitewaterdeu praised the open-source contribution. However, la_panda reported a critical error when attempting to run the script with MySQL version 9.0.1, specifically a SQL syntax failure during database migration regarding unique index creation (Error 1064), indicating a potential compatibility issue with newer MySQL versions.
