Discourse Setup for KDE

[Falco]

@jriddell

Deployment with Docker means we are putting lots of trust in the Discourse Docker creation process. How responsive is the team behind the Docker images to updating for security issues in the underlying libraries? (libpng was given as a relevant example which has had issues in the past.)

The image definition is also open source and we update dependencies in response to CVEs. Pull requests are also welcome

@jriddell

We have a custom addition to phpbb for our artwork app Krita which shows an image along with the topics list, is somthing similar possible for Discourse?

This is quite similar to this plugin Topic List Previews (legacy)

@jriddell

What are the tools to remove identifying info for users who request it?

Check Anonymizing Users in Discourse

@jriddell

Is there a command line tool to review the moderation queue to approve or discard posts? We currently use this a lot with Mailman.

We recently reworked our moderation queue UI and API. There is no cli client for it, but something for that could be easily doable with out API support.

@jriddell

We have sub-forums where app categories (see graphics and Krita forums) contain app forums which then contains some sub-forums within that. Is a stepped categorisation method possible?

Currently you can only go up to two levels deep for categories, plus cross-categories tags.

@jriddell

Is it possible to not deploy on Docker? Our sysadmin has expressed a preference for being able to use our own deployment tooling.

It’s open source, so everything is possible. However, we recommend following our official docs and reserve the right to not provide support for deploys who use custom tooling.

I will let the mailing list question for someone more familiarized with it .

We at Discourse would love to see KDE using our software! Looking forward to working with the KDE community.
