Installing More Than One Plugin at a Time

[brianb]

Is it possible to install more than one plugin before you purge the assets folder and restart the application?

I have a decent linode with 4gb of ram and 2cores but it still takes if a few minutes to restart. I want to install the "standard" plugins they include with their $100 mo hosting plan.

Is there a handy list of those plugins somewhere? thanks!

answering my own question with my experience. others feel free to reply with better knowledge.

I just installed two plugins

• discourse-spoiler-alert
• discourse-chat-integration

I followed the excellent Cloudron Guide for Discourse

I cloned both repos from github then the rake plugin command. Once both were done I purged the assets and restarted. So far so good.

@jdaviescoates handy? NOPE!

I get it... they need to make $ to keep discourse development (or nodebb) funded and moving forward. But after I got Discourse installed I thought there would be a nice UI for the Plugins... nope.

It's not hard but it is tedious.

Best I've been able to do so far is to go to official Discourse github repo and do a search for "discourse-plugin" which is how they tag MOST plugins.

https://github.com/orgs/discourse/repositories?q=discourse-plugin&type=all&language=&sort=

I also keep their plugins page pulled up to know what is available and how they prioritize them.

@briankb-0 OK, thanks.

BTW, I asked them which official open source plugins they use on Discourse Teams and they told me, see:

https://forum.cloudron.io/post/25467

Perhaps we should just ask for a similar list of what they use on their hosted service too

@jdaviescoates ask who? Discourse or Cloudron?

Discourse lists the plugins for each plan https://www.discourse.org/plugins

Discourse.

Discourse lists the plugins for each plan https://www.discourse.org/plugins

Oh, so there is already a handy list of the plugins they use (it's just a bit of a pain installing them)

[brianb]

I just found this https://github.com/discourse/all-the-plugins

I'm not sure I want to install ALL of them from this single repo though. If someone does, please let us know your experience.

Thanks! I was looking for something like this.

@brianb Do you think this should be added to the doc for users to find good plugin sources faster?
And if the answer is yes... would you like to contribute that to the doc?
