Flarum - next-generation forum
-
Man this looks great.
-
Some work has been done on an LDAP extension too.
-
The developers guess a stable release will be out before the summer, so not long!
-
@nikkuexe Interesting. I've been watching this on & off but progress seemed to have been slow, even non-existent. So that's great news !
Having experienced this forum using NodeBB, I am not too sure if Flarum is better, but will take another look.
-
@timconsidine NodeBB is great but I've spotted this forum running slow often so Flarum might be a better choice if it's lighter on resources (which I think it is).
-
@Staff @appdev it'd be great to get Flarum packaged now that it's been released as stable!

@jdaviescoates Flarum does not have LDAP, does it? (atleast, not afaict)

I didn't actually check, it's just whenever I mention anything to do with forums I like to slip in my request for LDAP for Discourse too because I'd really like that
The main thing Flarum has going for it is it's a nicely designed forum with low resource requirements.
-
In most situations I've come across you don't actually want to have forum users managed by LDAP, or if you do, not have so many users to manage in Cloudron.
There are levels and layers, and public/private/mgmt users sometimes need separation.
-
We've gone off topic (my bad) @robi, but I'd like to use Discourse pretty much like Discourse for Teams.
But I'd also like to use LDAP for more public forums too.
What I want is exactly what is already achievable with Rocket.Chat, i.e. team members can login using their Cloudron credentials using LDAP, but other people can also separately simply register on Rocket.Chat too.
At present it's annoying and confusing for my users that they can use their Cloudron login for all the apps we use apart from Discourse.

1.1.1 came out a while ago
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/29188-flarum-110-released
https://github.com/flarum/core/releases/tag/v1.1.1
There are some very big communities using it already, see showcase section on https://flarum.org/
I'd say this is good to go!
Any @appdev up for giving it a go?
-
Just discovered this used at orionfeedback.org for browser.kagi.com
Got to say, both the browser and the feedback forum are very fast and nice.

@marcusquinn WOw! that feedback page is just gorgeous!
Thank you very much!Can anybody identify it? Perhaps it is Free software...
