Ramping up and performance issues related to scalability

@kgish wrote:

For an important customer, we've done a pilot using Discourse and (of course) they have been very pleased with the results so far.

Now it is time to ramp up to production, eventually servicing more than 40,000 users. We are worried about performance and initial analysis has shown memory problems and unpredictable behavior, e.g. email, invites and sidekiq.

Increasing memory and the number of CPUs doesn't seem to help.

Is there a known limit for Discourse when it comes to number of users?

Is there a list of best practices or some document that outlines scalability issues, how to ensure that Discourse will continue to perform well with increased user traffic.

Cannot upload a downloaded backup

I want to move my discourse instance to a new server, however when I download a backup form current server and try to upload to new server, I get the following:

There has been an error while uploading 'cs-uni-2016-09-16-155132-v20160905092148.tar.gz': The backup filename contains invalid characters. Valid characters are a-z 0-9 . - _.

So I changed the backup filename to something that was accepted, is that why I am getting:

EXCEPTION: Migration version is missing from the filename.

Why doesn't discourse accept uploads for restore ?

Failed to Bootstrap

I'm trying to create a new Discourse, falling the steps here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-14-04

I get to the ./launcher bootstrap app part, and it goes off for about 45 minutes (even though the guide says it should only take 8 minutes), and it comes back with an error:

I was originally trying this with the default setup on Digital Ocean of Ubuntu 16.041 x64, but then I noticed that the guide uses Ubuntu 14.04 x64. So I destroyed my droplet and started a new one, but I get the same exact behavior.

In both cases I'm choosing the 1 GB droplet option, which has worked for me in the past. I've checked and rechecked and triple-checked my app.yml file, and everything seems to be correct.

Has anybody else encountered this error? Has something changed since the publishing of the guide I'm following?

Approve setting for new topics only

@pmusaraj wrote:

I would like to be able to allow trust level 1 users to post responses to existing topics (both posts and replies) without moderation, while new topics should go to an approval queue.

Is this doable with the current settings? If not, would this be a feature request for an upcoming version or would it be something a plugin could/should do? (For example, could this be done by a simple customization that hides the new topic button for a certain user level?)

Category logo deleted after some edit

@Steven wrote:

I noticed a little bug on Discourse, and I managed to find the steps to reproduce it :

  • Edit a category that has a logo and change the parent category
  • After 24/48 hours, the logo image will give an error 404, you'll have to reupload the logo.

It may happen when we edit something else, like the description but I only tried this steps two days ago, and I can confirm tonight that there is a little bug here.

My forum was up to date at the time. And I didn't see anything related to this issue since. If it's the case, my apologies.

What happens if I delete a badge?

@hross wrote:

We are currently rethinking badges - looking to align them more with our specific community goals and the level of participation we are seeing. As part of this, there are some "out of the box" badges we are considering deleting (or not using). If we delete a badge - will community members who have earned the badge be notified in some way? Will it just disappear? Or is there another deprecation method that exists?

Users with Trust Level 0 can not post links (sometimes?)

@hross wrote:

According to this FAQ, users who just create accounts should be able to include up to 2 links in their posts.

Ours is a support community, and our topic template encourages users to include a permalink so that we can investigate their questions with more clarity. Some new users (but maybe not all? I can't tell) report that they can not add links to their posts, as in this example:

Do you have any ideas we can investigate?

Slugs that start with numbers parsed as IDs

@pfaffman wrote:

http://site/some-slug gets redirected to http://site/some-slug/ID. That's awesome.

But, http://site/21st-some-slug gets redirected to http://site/whatever-slug-it-is-for-id/21.

Is there a way to fix this? I'm poking around in routes.rb, thinking I could find a regex to change, but that doesn't' seem like the way.

Posting Poetry in Discourse (Question)

0

@Karin3 wrote:

My small writers group (5 people) has been using a mini-Ning for years. That service is about to be discontinued, and we are looking for alternatives. We have long discussions about our writing and writing-related topics.

One thing we do is critique each other poetry, so we need to be able to post poems and excerpts of poems in our discussions. Sometimes the poems are indented. When I was playing with this in "the Sandbox" today, I noticed that when I indented lines they became preformatted text. Not good when that split up the poem into two styles, like this:

A Poem

At the start
this poem is not indented

 later it is

not so nice for that last line
to look different from the rest of the poem.

and by the way sometimes we use italics in our poems.

...So, I thought, "No problem! I'll just preformat the whole thing with that handy preformatting button. Here's what happens:

**A Poem**

At the start
this poem is not indented

     later it is

not so nice for that last line
to look different from the rest of the poem.

and by the way sometimes we use _italics_ in our poems.

You can see that I lose the bold and italics in the poem. Otherwise it's a good solution. I like that the poem is set off in grey. I don't love the courier font, but I imagine that can be changed. It just occurred to me this preformatting is probably intended for programming language.

Is there a solution for our poems?

Any other thoughts about a small group of writers using Discourse?

Thank you!

Adding terms of use

How can I add a sentence like "By registering, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service." on the registration page.

To a similar question an answer before was this:
Admin, customize, user fields, required checkbox

But this is not what I want. This also adds a check box. What is the best way to add just a sentence without the check box. I can try to do it by changing the HTML source code may be but may be there is a better way.
Thanks.

Question about Cakeday

@Slowhand wrote:

We recently received the Cakeday plug-in.

Our site has close to 200,000 users and when clicking on "Anniversaries" in the hamburger menu, the site crashes or is hung-up for several minutes while trying to compile the "Upcoming" and "Anniversaries In the Month of _____" categories.

Also, what's the difference between those two? Since our users have only recently been adding in their birthdays, I only see the current month in "Upcoming" which is the exact same thing as "Birthdays In the Month of _____".

On a side note, today is one of our users birthday (the birthday was added in), but the cake is not showing by the user name. Is this something that's wrong on our end?

Thanks for any help.

Many ruby processes on my client machine

Hi,
I have just launched my discourse site on a server. When I try to use the site, after a while my client machine got slow down. I checked the running processes and saw 5 ruby processes each of which uses approx. 250 Mb memory. Note that this is the client machine not the server. Is this normal? I'm using ubuntu and chrome.

Thanks

Clicking category image refreshes entire window

When I have an image set for a category and click the image and not the title of the category, it will refresh the entire window. This obviously doesn't happen when clicking category titles, they just dynamically load the next page.

Can somebody else confirm that this happens on their forum?

Thanks

Cannot Locate Images Folder for Logo

@dustinmatlock wrote:

Hello, I'm not exactly a server administrator but never had this problem before. I installed Discourse using a DigitalOcean droplet. If I go to the Discourse admin panel, it tells me where the images folder is located: /var/www/discourse/images. Clearly, I can get to this location in SSH, but the www folder does not show up in Transmit. Hidden files are automatically set to show in Transmit.

I'm sure it's something simple, but I just can't figure out why this is happening. Thanks!
