Flarum - next-generation forum

[robi]

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...

Heh, yeah, hence why @marcusquinn said:

this being flarum, the subject of this thread

[LoudLemur]

@jdaviescoates Haha! This is very funny! Sorry about that. I am trying to do too much too quickly.

I knew flarum, but never saw it look so beautiful.
