So I've been thinking about running a forum for some miniatures games I like, because most of the interaction is on meta's Facebook. So I've been shopping around, my requirements are quite simple :
- PostgreSQL as the backend
- something available using a browser on a phone
based on the places I interact "often" in the open source world, I decided to see how discourse would be. Unfortunately, a docker distribution mechanism isn't for me, as I don't intend to run a support docker platform as the OS for this project. And that's all what's offered on Discource website.
I tried my luck at following this old blog post about running discourse docker less. Again out of luck, this turned out to not work because one of the gems won't build (said gem requires pyhton2). And so I gave up.
Went back to looking at forum software comparison, only finding stuff hosted on one such platform provider. Have not decided yet if I want to continue or just drop the idea.
I looked even on cargo.io, but didn't find anything I'd be interested, per se.
So please if you know any good forum software , let me know (I'll probably go PHPbb at some point)
