@cyph3rasi are you using Discourse on Cloudron ? If on Cloudron, you can use the memory limit slider to give the app mmore memory - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#memory-limit

@joseph That could be a solution indeed. Though I would need a new server then. And is it possible to migrate easily the existing Discourse users to become users of the new Cloudron instance ? 🤔

I also came across this now: https://github.com/consideRatio/discourse-sso-oidc-bridge

The Discourse app that eventually installed when I upped the memory to 5.13 GB RAM, but which I've never even opened, just ran out of RAM 🤔 which just doesn't seem right.

(@staff I guess perhaps we should move all these posts from #5 onwards into the Discourse category?)

@girish Two ideas based on this experience for small additions to https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/discourse/

Would be great to mention Safe Mode as a useful debugging tool on this page. Would be helpful to add a section on how to uninstall plugins. When I searched online, everything pointed to removing an entry from app.yml, which doesn't exist in the Cloudron setup. I'd imagine it's a modified version of the current section on installing plugins: removing a directory and perhaps re-running plugin:install_all_gems but that's just a guess.

@girish said in Possible to make this Discourse Events plugin work on Cloudron?:

I think this one is gosu cloudron:cloudron bundle exec rake plugin:install_all_gems !

That seemed to do the job, I think, maybe.

The plugin seems to have installed:

But when I try to click on Events as shown above (and which links to https://bridport.events/admin/events ) I get this:

(this message is only shown to site administrators)

I also note that when running e.g. gosu cloudron:cloudron bundle exec rake posts:rebake I get:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I got that a few times during the install process too. 🤔

Seems impossible 😞

Maybe it would be nice to show this in the App Store, like with badges or something... We chose Discourse over NodeBB for no apparent reason. Maybe it would have made a difference.

Thank you very much, will look into it.
It's just - I hate the prospect of spending another minute with these back office things ... Oh well.

@nafets-lesierk see this comment from @IniBudi

@girish Thank you!!

Upstream bug is fixed in Discourse 3.2.0 (latest package)

@nebulon Oh I see, thank you for the explanation. 🙂

Thanks for this!
Everything Worked on my end!

Okay, I've come one step further.

The situation with the domain was apparently caused by Firefox. With Vivaldi there is a successful login again, or an error, depending on the plugins. How unnecessary 🙄

Actually Discourse only works with one plugin, but the plugin itself does not work: Discourse User Notes

With the other tested plugins nothing works, only the error message:

"Oops
The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem...."
I only tested two further Plugins: check-list and reactions

My test procedure is simply to remove the plugin folder and restart the app. I have no idea whether this is a reliable test.

@nebulon thank you, all sorted now!

@jdaviescoates Thanks, but then, how do i update the data ? I cannot update the discourse version and to upload the datas it says that i need a more recent version of discourse...

@girish Thank you, I appreciate it!

Is this still a problem? In the new base image atleast, the .irb_history file is symlinked.
