Installer Discourse sur un serveur CentOS 7 isolé

Most plugins carry all the code they need and have a simple install. Those two you tried to use need to fetch gems (libraries) from the internet to able to function.

do you know where in the code those ruby gem fetches for plugins happen? I tried looking for it but haven’t found the right place yet.

I’m thinking maybe instead of using cached gems maybe it would be more elegant to run a rubygems mirror on the isolated host, i found a tutorial here and it looks like you can configure extra system-wide gem sources

Our internal Discourse has happily been running the same old version for a good long while now, but we are finally getting rid of IE9 so it’s way overdue for an upgrade.
I can report that this guide is still good with the latest versions of Discourse. Even with RHEL8 instead of 7 :slight_smile:

While experimenting I figured out a way to get those discourse-prometheus and discourse-calendar plugins working offline too even with the extra dependencies, the trick was to fish out the ruby gems from the plugin directory of the build server as well as the ones in /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby

docker run -it -v ~/local/rubygems.org:/local-rubygems local_discourse/app /bin/bash -c "cp -rv /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby /local-rubygems"
docker run -it -v ~/local/rubygems.org/plugin-gems/discourse-calendar:/local-rubygems local_discourse/app /bin/bash -c "cp -rv /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-calendar/gems /local-rubygems"
docker run -it -v ~/local/rubygems.org/plugin-gems/discourse-prometheus:/local-rubygems local_discourse/app /bin/bash -c "cp -rv /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-prometheus/gems /local-rubygems"

and then in /templates/web.template.yml :

  - exec:
      cd: $home
      hook: bundle_exec
      cmd:
        # copy local ruby cache
        - cp -rv /local-rubygems.org/ruby/* $home/vendor/bundle/ruby/
        - cp -rv /local-rubygems.org/plugin-gems/* $home/plugins/
        - su discourse -c 'bundle install --local --deployment --retry 3 --jobs 4 --verbose --without test development'

By the way it looks like the topic for Active Directory IIS SSO got lost at some point, but the code is still available at GitHub - laktak/discourse-sso: Single Sign On for Discourse with Active Directory and still works with the now renamed DiscourseConnect SSO

J’ai essayé une autre mise à niveau et il semble qu’à un moment donné, une nouvelle section « yarn install » ait été ajoutée à web.template.yml, ce qui pose problème dans l’environnement isolé.

- exec:
      cd: $home
      cmd:
        - "[ ! -d 'node_modules' ] || su discourse -c 'yarn install --production && yarn cache list'"

En comparant le contenu de l’ancien et du nouveau conteneur, il semble qu’il y ait un tas de paquets yarn mis en cache dans le nouveau, dans /usr/local/share/.cache/yarn/v6, mais rien dans l’ancien. Je suppose que tous les node.js requis étaient inclus dans l’image de base, mais qu’ils sont maintenant mis à jour lors d’une reconstruction ?

Je vais expérimenter en copiant le cache yarn de la même manière que le cache ruby et voir si je peux amener yarn à utiliser les paquets mis en cache depuis la boîte de build.
