I was watching this page update as @codinghorror was updating it.

I got to the page ~1m after creation, watched for ~4 mins and scrolled up and down.
Watched my post get deleted (it was only pointing out a minor mistake).

After scrolling down and back to the top I notice the following.

It might have been there earlier.
It's not there if I visit the page now.

Updating some Gems to latest

Steve Wills wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Gemfile.lock vs Gemfile:

Aside from sprockets-rails and sass, there are other gems that are not the latest. A lot of them probably easily could be.

Here's a list of the ones that look to me like they could be upgraded without issue:

active_model_serializers
airbrake
ember-rails
ember-source
fspath
handlebars-source
image_optim
image_size
in_threads
message_bus
oj
omniauth-facebook
onebox
progress
onebox
ruby-readability
rack-openid

There are some others that are out of date but from looking at the history are held back for specific reasons:

pg
sprockets-rails
sass
libv8

And a few others that are old simply because other gems depend on the older version, such as exifr and celluloid.

Still, the ones in the first list are probably fine. Would you be willing to try newer versions?

Thanks!

Linking containers for a multiple container setup

Multiple Container setup

If you would like to connect web-only and data Discourse docker containers.
There is optional setting for this, which is, you could specify a links key in container configuration (yaml file) to link those containers together ( i.e. linking web-only and data container ).
This way is also known as Docker --link flag.

Usage:
If you are trying to link database container to your web container

Add the following section in containers/web.yml

links:
  - link:
      name: data
      alias: db

That will be transformed into --link data:db

How do we decide what goes into each release of Discourse?

Jeff Atwood wrote:

How do we decide what goes into each release of Discourse?

Generally speaking, this is the model:

http://blog.codinghorror.com/complaint-driven-development/

That is amortized across:

  1. How many different Discourse instances are complaining / asking about this?

  2. How many of these Discourse instances are paying customers, either ours or someone else's?

  3. What is the community composition of those Discourse instances? Large, small, specialist, generalist, cranky (we dislike change), progressive (we love change)? How active is the instance? Is it a massive bustling city with big city problems, or a small town?

  4. How strongly does the team feel this would help many (or all) other Discourse instances?

  5. How in tune with the "Discourse philosophy" is this feature? Example: downvoting / next page buttons, very much not in tune; optional anonymous posting / export personal posts, in tune.

  6. What discussion has there been about this, if any, here on meta.discourse?

  7. How strongly does the Discourse team personally like/want/need this feature?

This is ranked from strongest (#1) to weakest (#6), so the more we see the higher numbers the more that particular thing is prioritized. Discussion is weighted, but only to the extent that the people discussing have regular visibility into multiple Discourse instances with different audiences, 5 to 10 of them ideally, but even 2 or 3 is good.

We always encourage discussion of features and direction for current and future versions of Discourse, within the following guidelines:

  • A little discussion is great. However, we try to avoid having too much discussion in favor of Just Trying Something.

  • In the event that there isn't any kind of real consensus in the discussion, or significant disagreement among a minority in the discussion, the Discourse team reserves the right to make arbitrarily binding decisions and move forward.

    In the case where it's kind of a UI or design thing where there's no way to have a solution that can satisfy everyone, our philosophy is:

    • Do the simple / clean thing whenever possible

    • Gather basic feedback

    • Try it for a while – live with it

    • Adjust it over time based on feedback from living with it

  • We reserve the right to be wrong about any of those binding decisions and revisit them at some later date.

  • We don't like exploding Discourse with zillions of confusing settings, we'd rather have sensible out-of-box defaults that work for 90% of communities and can be tweaked. But in some (rare) cases the needs are so divergent that a new setting must be added. This should be a method of last resort.

  • Discourse is open source software! Try to be the change you wish to see, via a plugin or pull request.

How to migrate from single to multiple Docker container

Erlend Sogge Heggen wrote:

There appears to be significant advantages to running a multiple container configuration. The big question on our minds as we're preparing to re-launch our community on Discourse is whether it's worth the extra trouble to do the Multiple Container config from the start, or if we could quite easily transition to this set-up at a later point in time.

Copy profile info to all discourse sites

I know this would be hard to code, and got no idea if it's even possible...

But how about using my cookie info to know where I login, go there for me, and copy the info? Just like SEN used to be: a button to "copy this to all other sites".

This becomes quite relevant when I begin to lose track of my sites! stuck_out_tongue

Although probably lazy update is better for this (the current way), I still think it would be a cool feature.

Site broken after trying to create swapfile

Continuing the discussion from Create a swapfile for your Linux server:

I created a swapfile after having problems with the latest update. I read about the same kind of error on https://meta.discourse.org/t/upgrade-error-failed-to-build-gem-native-extension/19063 and was given the recommendation to create a swapfile.

After following this guide my site is not working anymore. http://forum.motgift.nu gives me 502 Bad Gateway (nginx). Trying service nginx restart gives me nginx: unrecognized service

Now i feel really lost. Does anyone know what has gone wrong and/or what I should do?

See which emails are being sent

Florian Beer wrote:

We are seeing a radically increased amount of mails sent by Discourse each Friday. The email Digest setting is set to "never". Could it be that > 3000 users have set their digest settings manually? Or what other emails could Discourse send out on that day?

What I'd like to be able is to see which messages are being sent out each Friday (subjects & recipients).

Another thought: could it be, that a lot of users still have the initial digest setting and changing it to "never" in the admin panel only sets it for users that register from that point on?

S3 competitor integration

wrote:

This is a continuation of a discussion to find an S3 competitor.

The main reason is that S3 has bizarre pricing structures and IMO for a large Discourse instance including those based on photo and video it could hit them for a lot of $$$$

Proposal:

Feasibility investigation on Rackspace/Openstack or Google Cloud and the extension/continuation of @zogstrip 's normalization work on image bucket and backup storage. So far the pricing seems very straight forward for Google Cloud hosting. But can it be done? or is it a high threshold pain point that triggers fight or flight instincts? I guess I will judge that by how fast this post gets deleted or closed and killed with fire smile

https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing

Disclaimer:

I could do a PR but I am dynamic/procedural candy coder, anything I provide via a PR will be murdered instantly which would wreck my fragile psychology. So someone with thicker skin would need to do this.

Anon email-in should be able to add multiple posts to a topic

Michael Downey wrote:

As a user without an account who emails in "anonymously" to a category (which has "Accept emails from anonymous users with no accounts") enabled, I want to be able to send multiple messages in to a topic without being rejected with a "title has already been used" error, so that I can post multiple messages to the same topic.

In other words, anonuser@example.com sends a message discourse@example.org with email subject Discourse is great. Because anonuser@example.com doesn't have an account, that person doesn't get email notifications. However, they may log on to the web site and read replies. If that person then wants to reply, they should be able to send another email to discourse@example.org with the exact same subject line, and the content of that email should be appended to the topic.

Profile 'ALL' page streams differently from initial load/refreshes

darkmatter wrote:

BUG: The All section of the profile only shows all your posts on the initial load, but if you leave it open while you are browsing the forum and then like something, the like gets streamed into the feed. Refreshing the All section causes the like to no longer be displayed there.

I assume this is a remnant of when the All section really showed ALL actions.

After inlined Like:

After refresh:

Expected: All section picks one thing to be and bes it. Either display only posts, or display both likes and posts, but not a different display depending on streaming or refreshing.

How to stop docker and shutdown droplet cleanly for digitalocean snapshot backups

Tobias Eigen wrote:

Apologies for the newb question.

My preferred workflow has been to do a snapshot on the digitalocean dashboard before doing discourse updates, in case Bad Things Happen. As I am realizing now, just running shutdown now -h appears to not be enough and shuts down the server while docker is running. Do I need to run this instead?

cd /var/discourse && ./launcher stop app && shutdown now -h

Is there a way to add this to a shutdown process so that the shutdown is clean? Or am I wrong in pinpointing this as the source of my woes? Is there another way my database could be getting corrupted?
