Discourse ne peut pas être installé sur des comptes d’hébergement mutualisé chez Siteground, où j’héberge mon site. Je viens d’en parler à leur équipe de support.
Un deuxième plan d’hébergement ailleurs pour un petit forum qui commence tout juste n’en vaut pas la peine, sauf s’il est vraiment peu coûteux.
Quelqu’un peut-il recommander un autre logiciel de forum compatible avec Discourse, afin que je puisse migrer vers Discourse plus tard, lorsque le forum aura plus de membres et qu’il vaudra la peine de payer pour un autre plan d’hébergement ?
J’ai WordPress qui tourne sur Siteground, mais je ne sais pas si les extensions de forum pour WordPress sont : a) bonnes, b) compatibles avec Discourse (export/import).
À moins qu’il n’existe un moyen d’héberger Discourse soi-même pour moins de 5 $ par mois.
Des suggestions sur une solution de forum qui me permette de passer à Discourse plus tard, compte tenu de la contrainte financière ?
Short answer is that you can use BBpress on wordpress and that can be migrated to Discourse…
That’s what I sensed. Honestly, I would say pick PHP based or Discourse now and stick to it, rather than doing php and then trying to migrate after. You’re just going to confuse whatever members you have by doing that. Not to mention the time you’ll spend on the migration and re-coaching your community members. Plus, I’d argue your adoption rate is going to be higher with Discourse honestly.
On cost, the biggest challenge you are going to have is building an engaged community. Accounting for the time and effort it takes to build a community, $5-10/month is a pennies.
If community is core to what you are doing and you are on a tight budget, perhaps consider downgrading the package your WP install is on to free up funds for Discourse.
My 2c, set yourself up now and just go all-in on Discourse. Otherwise a facebook group might be a good idea. I’m taking some liberties here not knowing your full situation.
You’re creating a world of unnecessary hurt for yourself here. The needs of your community should make the choice between something like Discourse and BBPress pretty straightforward. The cost of running Discourse is at an all-time low, if $3/$5 is really out of your budget then this isn’t even a choice.
Does DigitalOcean allow Discourse to run on their $5 plan? I watched a YouTube video from about 6 months ago and DigitalOcean would only allow the $20 plan minimum. That is, 2GB and 2vps.
Yes, many people use $5 droplets to run Discourse. Follow this official guide to get started, it is up-to-date and people on this forum can provide help if you need it:
@david, @steve_pd, Thanks. The video I saw was showing DigitalOcean’s one-click installer. Not sure why the do/did that. As long as SSH works it’s fine by me.
Was that created by DO? If so they’ve a vested interest in selling resources. I’m sure it’s not nefarious, but it’s also not documentation produced by the team.
The video was by a user who wasn’t technically savvy at the time, so maybe he misread what was happening.
Possibly, he had other things already installed which were taking up space, and DO’s software took that into consideration and said he would need a higher plan.
