@james I would suggest adding a section in the Ollama or Discourse documentation explaining how to reach the Ollama service, internally and externally. For now, I only test whatever comes to my mind but unfortunately, I can't figure it out. Feels like magic

First trial and error.

Added a new LLM entry in /admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-llms/new?llmTemplate=none.

Named it "Ollama" and selected OpenAI as provider and qwen3.5:2b (pulled) as model.
Set the URL to the Ollama instance and put the API key from it's cat /app/data/.api_key.
Chose QwenTokenizer and 262000 context.
Saved settings with the Submit button.

The "Run test" fails with

Non-streaming request failed: <html> <head><title>405 Not Allowed</title></head> <body> <center><h1>405 Not Allowed</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu)</center> </body> </html>

Changed URL to Ollama's ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -Fv 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}', like http://172.18.16.111:11434

The "Run test" fails with "Internal Server Error"

Came across the topic Self-Hosting an OpenSource LLM for DiscourseAI and will maybe give it a try with an Ollama instance if possible.

mononym

Hello.

Some time ago, I came across a blog post from Discourse where they present a translation feature using the AI plugin. It basically enables that each user can converse seamlessly in a chosen language: https://blog.discourse.org/2026/03/building-for-every-language/

The Discourse AI plugin is now bundled and can be enabled manually for available features.

As I take care of a multilingual forum, I was wondering if it is doable to have the AI translation run with a Cloudron Ollama instance:

Did someone manage connect a local Ollama instance to the Discourse AI Plugin ?
What would be a recommended requirement in RAM and model (SotA ?) to make this work gracefully ?
Otherwise, which third-party provider would you recommend using for a low traffic Discourse site ?

Thanks.

@girish

Hello. The updates did solve it and the banner disappeared. Thx.

Hello. I get the following warning on my GRAV CMS Dashboard:

Login security: no trusted host is configured, so password reset and activation email links are built from the request host and can be spoofed. Set a Site Host in the Login plugin settings, or a Custom Base URL in System settings.

None of "Site Host" and "Custom Base URL" fields has a value for now. The app is installed under a different domain name than the Cloudron Dashboard. Any advice what to do ?

Thanks !

There's a fork with additional features in the news : https://itsfoss.com/cheezy-pizza/

@jdaviescoates Thanks. I can only confirm. Should have read the right posts.
I get the feeling that LAMP-doable apps need their show window as well.

mononym

It's perfect. Thank you, @james !

mononym

@girish I absolutely agree with you. Though it is a little bit more complicated if I wanna host a linktree page to be used by someone else who has only little technical know-how. Therefore, wants to get and manage something as simple as a linktree page by themself.

Hello. May it be possible that the CloudronHealth check uses the /srv/status endpoint ? It looks like that it shows up as a crawler in the site pageview statistics otherwise. Thanks.

mononym

Just to let you know, I still get the error " Connection to the POP3 server is failing with an authentication error. Please check your POP3 settings." in the admin dashboard. Though everything looks to work perfectly fine.

Is there something 'unique' about your Cloudron set up? Also no Cloudflare.

Not that I'm aware of. The check looks good.

I tried to look into why queued documents are not processed. In the end, it was only a question of enough patience.
But I noticed an error in Settings > System Status (top right) > "WebSocket Connection"

Don't know how critical that is...

A pity that this does not show up in the /srv/status endpoint as well.

The admin dashboard on our instance indicates "Translation missing: en.dashboard.problem.sidekiq_check" maybe corroborating the findings.

As this is about email, I wonder if there's a way to have a chatmail relay. Kind of "batteries included" for the couldron email addresses or so. But I guess that's out of scope. Just came across that project again because it got some larger grant: https://www.sovereign.tech/tech/chatmail

I found a docker compose.yaml which could maybe be helpful.
