Discourse

Yes it would be great to know if there is any update / timescale for Discourse on Cloudron
-
I have started working on this now - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/discourse-app . It doesn't work at all yet. Will leave a note here when it's ready for testing.

Also looking forward to try it (I've actually installed it, but I get errors sending emails), mainly because I need push notification for a forum, and I can't get that working on iOS with nodebb. (only works on android)
Even then, I'll have to use an external service for iOS: https://meta.discourse.org/t/pushover-notifcations/119258

Discourse is now published! There's docs at https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/discourse/ . As this is the first release, some parts might be a bit rough, please feel free to open separate topics for any issues.
@ruihildt The email sending issue should be fixed now.

Do you intend on packaging it with LDAP support included, eventually maybe?
I just came here to ask the exact same question! (assuming, as I am, that this would mean Single Sign On would work? I think SSO is one of the killer features of Cloudron and I'd love it if it were available for even more apps!).
Is there are possibility of this happening @girish @nebulon or is there some technical reason why in practice it's not really possible and hence why it wasn't done in the first place?

Oh, and the other thing
I came here to ask was whether or not it's possible to install Discourse plugins on Cloudron hosted Discourse?Becauseone (well, two) of the things I really like about Discourse are the Discourse Events and Discourse Locations plugins (you can see them both in action at e.g. https://community.coops.tech and https://bettermedia.uk )So it's great to know that it is possible to install plugins on Cloudron hosted Discourse!

Since I think the LDAP plugin for discourse is readily available it looks like, there is no real technical reason, but mostly we haven't really seen the use-case for a forum type app to have SSO to the Cloudron users (take this forum here as an example, it runs on a Cloudron but only few people have users on that Cloudron). So I guess if the private forum use-case is considered to be useful and valid, then I guess we can add that.

Does that mean that if Cloudron SSO was enabled then people wouldn't also be able to register?
Or could we have it how Rocket.Chat seems to function atm, i.e. Cloudron users can login with their Cloudron credentials, but other people can register too? That is what I want
Thanks!

@jdaviescoates Discourse can have multiple authentication modes active simultaneously, yes.
-
Just to say, again, I really want LDAP support in Discourse! (and every app)
The use case is that I want to sell managed Cloudron servers and one of the key selling points is Cloudron's awesome LDAP integration.
Sure, we want people to be able to register on public forums too, but all existing uses on the Cloudron should be able to use their existing credentials.
(oh, and I'd still really like to be able to able to filter apps in the app store by which ones have LDAP too)
-
I wholeheartedly agree with @jdaviescoates
