Hi, I have been using Discourse for teaching a class. Is there a way to easily: Archive a previous class (i.e., the current forum data) Create a new one without having to reinstall Discourse I installed Discourse on a computer I own.

The student uses it to upload homework. We use it for posting grades and feedback. Homework papers are scanned if they are not given to us in electronic form.

Just set up your Discourse instance, do your customizations and create a backup (admin - backups - backup) Whenever you want to wipe everything and start over again, you simply restore from that backup.

The post is more a discussion of future features for Discourse. I think my situation is a bit simpler. For example, I am OK with just deleting all users. I was basically thinking of simply deleting files in /var/discourse/shared/standalone, or something along those lines.

Thanks. Yes, that’s a good option. Basically I create a template and save it.
