I just realised my Digital Ocean VPS is using an American time-zone, EEST or something that is quite impractical for me. Will there be side effects if I change the server time-zone to UTC or local?

"Suspect users" not behaving as expected?

@steve_pd wrote:

So we're currently running another competition, giving away keys for a game beta, and though that it would be a great idea to make our community the focal point. Abuse is expected, in the past it has been pretty easy to detect duplicate signups and the other lengths nefarious key resellers will go to. Beta keys sell for anything between $5-$25, so we make best effort to remove any obvious offenders. Our ability to do this and see high redemption rates impacts future key allocation from publishers.

Whilst reviewing entries overnight we've noticed lots of signups with corresponding entries from a handful of IPs. Single IP addresses show 30 or 40 users. In the past these kinds of user have appeared under 'suspect users', but today none of them are listed.

Has the definition of a Suspect User been changed? If not, how should we best approach this kind of signup abuse?

Now I can see the following error, and it seems it is not due to smtp server error.

Webhook for Discourse events

I'm writing up the specs for this in order to facilitate GSoC 2016 application

Specs

  1. A single page at "/admin/webhook" for users to manage their webhooks
  2. Use will need to provide a Payload URL which the webhook service will POST the event payload to.
  3. Webhook will POST all events to the Payload URL by default. We should allow users to select individual events which they require.
  4. A Webhook can be activated and deactivated.
  5. Logs of the POST request as well as the response should be kept and made visible for users.

For a start, I think the following events suggested by @phanimahesh is pretty reasonable.

Full Page Search vs. Pop Up Search + WP Integration

@ivanrlio wrote:

I realized this might seem like a dupe https://meta.discourse.org/t/full-page-search-does-not-search-users-or-categories-like-on-page-search-does/34848/5 but I didn't find anything that provided a solution to what I'm trying to figure out.

We currently integrate Discourse search on our WP, with the action attribute on our homepage search is targeting 'https://ask.example.com/search'. Ideally we'd like to provide the search capability that the 'pop up search' provides, specifically, the user profiles.

Is there a way to target the 'pop up search' on 'ask.example.com', instead of 'full search' on '/search', as it doesn't provide the profiles? If someone has managed to modify 'full search' to incorporate profiles, I'd love to know how you did it.

Queries for specific user types

@will_io wrote:

I intend to do some house cleaning on my discourse install.

I want to identify two similar types of users:

  1. Inactive users without posts (pre-Discourse signups)
  2. Active users without posts and excessive read times (lurkers)

I am going to get rid of #1s and seek creative ways to reach out to the #2s.

I'd like to use this thread as a way to generate some ideas on how to proceed and things I should be cautious of before moving forward.

Thank you.

Every time we run rebuild, all of our uploads and backups are deleted. This is obviously undesirable.

This issue started happening when we installed our forum to a subdirectory following this guide. Every rebuild after then has deleted all uploads.

I've also noticed that /shared/standalone/uploads is also completely empty (!!) and when I upload a file on the site or make a backup it doesn't appear to put the file there.

Anyone know what's the deal?

I have used pushover.net to create notifications for other services that I run. Pushover has a very simple API to trigger notifications and send the notifications to their iOS, Android and to desktop environments.

Has anyone done anything like this with Discourse?

How to install Docker with AUFS on Linode

$

@dandv wrote:

The 30-minute Discourse installation guide assumes you'll be using Digital Ocean and makes no mention of an important requirement for Docker:

If you use another hosting provider, you should really make sure that a Linux kernel feature called "AUFS" is supported. Docker not using AUFS can cause terrible pain.

If you want to use Linode, here's how to enable AUFS support in Ubuntu (for other OSes, refer to Linode's guide and update the instructions below accordingly:

  1. Create the Linode and pick Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  2. Resize the main disk down to allow for a larger swap partition than the default 512MB. For example, for the $10 Linode 1024, resize the main partition to 22528MB, then resize the swap partition to 2048MB.
  3. Boot
  4. SSH into the VPS and run the following commands while remaining root:
  5. sudo apt-get update
  6. apt-get install -y linux-image-virtual grub2 mc htop
    • Optional: run htop and confirm the swap is 2048MB
  7. Choose the main disk for Grub to boot from, if asked
  8. mcedit /etc/default/grub and match the config to these settings:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=ttyS0,19200n8"
    GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
    GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=19200 --unit=0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"
  9. Save and run update-grub
  10. In your Linode’s Dashboard, Click on Edit under the Configuration Profiles section.
  11. In the Boot Settings section, select GRUB 2 from the Kernel drop down menu
  12. Save changes and reboot.
  13. SSH in again and run these commands (credit Peter Parente):
    apt-get -y install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)
    sh -c "wget -qO- https://get.docker.io/gpg | apt-key add -"
    sh -c "echo deb http://get.docker.io/ubuntu docker main\ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list"
    apt-get update
    apt-get -y install lxc-docker
  14. Confirm that you have AUFS support by running doker info. You should not see devicemapper.
  15. Continue with the Discourse installation guide, starting with "Install Discourse" (since you have already installed Docker).

Disclaimer: I don't exactly understand everything that's going on here, but I've just performed these steps, and they've worked for me. Here's Docker using AUFS:

root@localhost:/var/discourse# docker info
Containers: 0
Images: 7
Server Version: 1.9.1
Storage Driver: aufs
 Root Dir: /var/lib/docker/aufs
 Backing Filesystem: extfs

How to control previous replies in emails

@sam wrote:

When Discourse sends out Email notifications it includes a block of "Previous Replies"

This can be controlled on your user profile.

Out of the box we will include up to 5 posts at the bottom of email notifications provided we have not emailed them in the past.

If you are uneasy with that default you can change it to "never" send you previous replies, or "always" send you previous replies.

The default for all users can be controlled by forum admins, default email previous replies

The number of posts included in previous replies can also be controlled using the email posts context site setting.

Update quotes and mentions when username is changed

A user recently asked me whether he could change his username on our 2 month old site.

He had been lurking for a while and then recently started posting.

When I tried to update it through the admin UI, the big scary warning made me pause:

From looking through the new user list and seeing that many people are accepting the auto-generated name when they first sign up, I'm somewhat anticipating this to become a more frequent occurrence as each user starts to engage more and sees their username in 'public' for the first time when they post.

I second the proposal from this long ago topic:

Continuing the discussion from What are the 'consequences' of changing your name?:

But also, how are people dealing with this now?

Discourse Silently Truncates Email Address Obfuscating Username

@hamishmacewan wrote:

Hi,

I experienced this problem at http://forum.thethingsnetwork.org/

The user registers an email address, which is silently (without notification) truncated for use as the username during login. The user then attempts to login with the full address and the registration password. Many error messages about the password not matching the username ensue.

Relenting and resetting the password reveals the problem, your password and username were as registered but the system silently and without notification decided to change your username without notification or advice:

Your username, in case you've forgotten: thethingsnetwork.org@Hamish.Ma

If this is a configuration option, I apologise, except to say that Discourse should advise the registrant that

  1. Their username (AKA email address) is too long
  2. That their username is now left(email, 30)
