Flarum - next-generation forum

@Staff @appdev it'd be great to get Flarum packaged now that it's been released as stable!

(and to add LDAP to Discourse and NodeBB too, of course )

@robi Seems super beta rn but might be worth looking into testing for stability.

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.
