Continuing the discussion from 512MB of RAM is enough to run Discourse:

It is pretty interesting here talking about minimum RAM requirement. I got the feeling that 512MB is not the good idea but still a usable strategy, depending on how many users on the board.

The thing is, VPS nowadays tend to have SSD as the main storage hardware (DigitalOcean, RamNode, etc etc). SSD is faster than traditional HDD, some people might say its speed resembles RAM.

If a person is serious with the 512MB-Swap strategy, what advice would you guys give to discourage him/her from doing so?

I don't see anything on nginx error.log. It does not show up in Logs > Staff Actions. Any ideas? Is there an additiona lerror log somewhere to check?

This was installed via docker, local_discourse/app:latest, cloned from git

Is it possible to split uploads to different hostnames for user uploads and images/css/js provided by Discourse itself? I don't have the funds to serve 4-5MB+ each images off CDN, but will happily serve site assets off a CDN.

Hi guys,

I followed the default installation (with docker) on AWS and was wondering if it's possible to use a separate PostgreSQL DB (using AWS RDS) and a separate Redis cluster (using AWS Elasticache).

I took a quick look through the documentation as well as the .yml files available and there doesn't seem to be anything.

Am I better off using the old-school ubuntu installation (which looks like it has support for custom PostgreSQL/Redis servers).

Thanks!

Continuing the discussion from Appeal link for moderated posts:

I've been having a nagging question in my head: What does the "Take Action" button do?

Does it instantly cause the "Hidden due to community flags" behavior, or hide the post with no PM?

Does clicking Flag Post cause that behavior?

The buttons have no tooltips.

(This may be a FAQ candidate.)

i'm running discourse version 0.9.9.4, currently running behind proxy, its failed upgrading via docker manager, i try to run manually

cd /var/www/discourse && git fetch && git reset --hard HEAD@{upstream}

as the screen show when upgrading, the output is

# cd /var/www/discourse && git fetch && git reset --hard HEAD@{upstream}
error: No upstream branch found for 'HEAD'
error: No upstream branch found for 'HEAD'
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD@{upstream}': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

the docker manager updated through this way, but the discourse failed. what would be the problem? thx

As a user, I want to see the full name of a given poster when I receive an e-mail notification of content that person created, so that I can better associate the e-mail notification with the people I know on the Discourse site itself.

Rationale: When full names are enabled on the site, naturally, you see them above each post. However, the e-mail "From" field is structured like "userid <discourse@example.com>". If userid was replaced with the full name, it'd match the user experience on the web.

I have Google Chrome set to block sites from setting any data, and only allow exceptions as I need.

With this set-up Discourse partially loads, but then nothing else happens, it just shows a blank page. Ideally the site loads with a message explaining why cookies are needed.

Okay, so I'm trying to get an idea of how discourse operates, so I cloned the repo and started vagrant. Apart from NFS not being installed locally, I got everything running on the first try.

However, now we are at my limit of knowledge. I go into the Admin area and I'm greeted with a lot of potential problems It looks like I can ignore most of them, but these strike me as important (not in any particular order).

• Your server is running in development mode.
• You are running a version of Ruby 2.0.0 that is known to have problems. Upgrade to patch level 247 or later.
• Your config/database.yml file is using the default localhost hostname. Update it to use your site's hostname.
• Sidekiq is not running. Many tasks, like sending emails, are executed asynchronously by sidekiq. Please ensure at least one sidekiq process is running. Learn about Sidekiq here.

Can someone help me get these resolved? I'm proficient with running commands, but I'll likely ask a lot more questions, if it doesn't immediately make sense to me.

Last but not least, I noticed when I ran bundle exec rails s, it seems to control discourse being available. Is there a way to make discourse available and exit out of the ssh console? (Sorry, I'm terribly new when it comes to rails, vagrant, and everything in between)

I just upgraded to 0.9.9.6 and while I have full confidence in the discourse team it has been unsettling to upgrade the last few times without any easy place to check what the upgrade means, what has changed and what to check or update.

I know there's the link to the github changelog but that is cryptic "in the weeds" info about code changes.

Would it be possible/helpful for devs to start a topic in the support forum listing a few bullet points about each release, what to look out for, and to answer any questions that may come up?

I'm trying to set up a forum for some friends, and have run into a bit of an odd roadblock with permissions.
I've seen this:

But is it possible to have some kind of further restrcions? Basically disabling the email tab (the authenticated smtp provider I use is username = api key) for one thing.

Alternatively, a non-developer administrator role that can do things like change the forum title (I have no problem defining specific configuration keys allowed to change), but not do anything that can break it or screw it (or access /admin/docker).

I noticed in my notifications that a bot has liked several posts of mine over at the Atom discourse. Not only are they displayed in my notifications even after they were removed due to a ban (probably), which is rather annoying, they do not disappear from the forum list.

Try clicking on this post's "1 person liked this" link. Nothing happens.

Now, try clicking on this post's "2 persons liked this" link. Only one avatar is displayed.

I have developed a feature to allow users to specify a xml key that contains the discourse_username to embed a particular post as. I have added additional functionality to allow discourse to know which discourse_username to embed a post under when importing on-the-fly through adding an additional javascript variable to the embed.js code.

This is my first contribution to Discourse. Hopefully this can get merged in as it applies to our particular use case where we are using discourse to provide commenting for our internal tech blog (middleman) where there are multiple authors who all need to be contacted when someone makes a comment on the articles they have written.

The current feature requires that one discourse_username is used which all imported topics are created on behalf of.

The contributing doc seems to suggest a topic be created before submitting a pull request. The code I intend to submit for initial review is on a branch in my forked copy.
