If you manage multiple Discourse forums (I’m taking care of two), you often find yourself doing repetitive work: upgrading core/plugins, various settings & styling and so on. If I’d have one more forum to manage i’ll probably go nuts 😃

There is a way of doing this one without going on all forum admins?

Thanks!

Well, you could write your own script/program using the API.

True, but I first wanted to know if there is something like this, to not reinvent the wheel 😄
