NodeBB vs Discourse
-
@jac The forum is free and GPL like Nodebb too. Only if you want to host it with them and they take care of it it costs money. The software itself is free of charge
@phenomlab yes the forum I have already seen Flarum. It’s nice that it’s based on php and I’m a php developer. But I don’t really like the structure. I was not convinced by the forum

Neither was I. I’m also a PHP developer, and I left their ecosystem because of their complete lack of GDPR support - something NodeBB has built into the core. The Sudonix predecessor, metabullet.com was based on Flarum, and only exists now for legacy purposes. Eventually, that site will point here.

@phenomlab Yes, GDPR is really very important in Germany, even if I find it partly exaggerated. All the changes I had to make as a web host at that time were already very very big. Since then, I have gradually dismantled it. With my hosting as a side business, I only make teamspeak servers under https://myteamspeak.online

@riekmedia I agree. I’m an Information Security and Infrastructure expert by trade, so this sort of thing forms a large part of my daily working life

Is there such a plugin for the forum discourse as there is for nodeBB Session Sharing? I have always used this at nodebb to control the login via my self-programmed customer center. It was also quite simple. I can’t find anything about this in google at the moment

@riekmedia none that I’m aware of in the form of an actual session sharing plugin, although I’m sure that one exists for SSO which you could also use on both applications ?

@phenomlab
To be honest, I don’t know yet. I don’t know the forum yet and have to read it first. I would just like to implement that one e.g. logs into my customer center and is thus also logged into the forum. With session sharing it was even the case when a user was not registered in the forum but in the customer center, which he was then automatically created in the forum.SSO isn’t really telling me anything right now

@phenomlab absolutely pal, not to trust them Walsall supporting folk
. Although I do believe it probably does cost them that per month. -

@phenomlab I don’t believe they we’re. I think this was for a VPS.

So I have to honestly say that the Discourse Forum takes some getting used to. Find it partly also from the administration quite confusing. Maybe even now only at the beginning seem like this to me, but you don’t find yourself as easily right as with nodebb

@riekmedia Yes, my experience was the same. Needless to say, I didn’t stay long

@jac interestingly, I’m playing with Ghost in a subdomain here (well, trying to. It doesn’t work
) and their forums are based on Discourse. On posting there about my issue, I remembered how much I dislike Discourse 🤮 -
@phenomlab So far, Discourse has not really convinced me either. It is difficult to use or understand. But I do not give up. I set up a VPS in the cloud at hetzner and played around with it.
Ghost, isn’t that the blog software?

Certainly is. I’m toying with the idea of moving the blog posts from here into ghost but haven’t decided yet. Hetzner eh ? I use them also. In fact, Sudonix is hosted in Nuremberg
