Certainly, but it is a matter of priorities and time available. Copying over the current forums setup onto a Leap42.3 system means minimum time and effort. After that, we can work on moving to an updated platform.
Per, I somewhat understand your argument.
But the forums are a publicly accessible service and thus I also would argue that running it on unsupported platform is a no-go. The damage of a successful break-in cannot be overestimated.
Furthermore given the amount of time needed to just get a forums database export it's a long running migration project anyway.
AFAIU, the deadline is end of February, but it can be extended.
Last not least running non-free / non-openSUSE software also seems to be a pain.

darix already worked on packaging and running discourse. That seems to be a good option.
Agree with all of that. My only objective is to move the forums from Provo to Nuernberg, hopefully thereby achieving the following: a) de-coupling from MF-IT b) improved service for the forum users c) the opportunity to improve the setup. I have to consider how much time & effort I am willing to spend on this. Doing a "raw copy" of the setup is minimum time & effort, but achieves 2/3 of the above. Anyone will then be free to worry about (c). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
