This is a quite old topic, and I’m wondering if anything changed since 2016.
(PS - I hope it is ok to revive such old topics, but it is the one closest to what we are looking for)
Our forum is hosted on discourse.org, and we are in a need of a staging environment.
Of course we can spin up another forum - but having the capability to clone the production environment - while disabling a number of things like notifications and specific integrations would be a step in the right direction.
