Fwd: Packaging Discourse

27 Jul 2021

      Running as a container + freezing instead of packaging as .rpm + 
migrating are two recommendations I fully support. Can we proceed this 
way? What would be the strongest blockers if any?

Hi All,

I started to play around with the Discourse rpm, but I doubt that this 
route should be taken. It is not recommended by upstream to package it 
due to the heavy dependencies and the effort it takes to maintain such 
package.
Wouldn't it be more reasonable to take the containerization avenue on 
the matter? We could still add our own branding and apply changes where 
needed and push the image to registry-o-o.
Just my two cents, but if we put if we're to replace vbulletin it gives 
us a chance to innovate and taking the MicroOS+container route and 
automate as much as we can IMHO would worth it.

While we're at the VBulletin part, I know Adrien already suggested to 
freeze the forums as is, archive it and leave it in a ro state. This is 
not unheard of in the FOSS world. Or the licensing would cause issue and 
best to migrate everything? (Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this 
last bit.)
