Discourse is an open-source Internet forum system. It is developed using Ruby on Rails and Ember.js, making it a robust and highly performant web application. It is known for its user-friendly interface, real-time updates, and mobile responsiveness. Discourse is not just a forum software; it is a platform designed to promote healthy, engaging discussions among community members.

## Installation

### Native package

The new forum is available as discourseAUR.

The current version is out of date, and has an issue with `redis-namespace`.

In order to build the latest version and avoid the `redis-namespace` issue, download the snapshot.

In the `PKGBUILD` file, change the version number from `2.6.2` to `3.0.0` *and* rename `COPYRIGHT.txt` to `COPYRIGHT.md`.

### Containerized

There is also an official Docker image suited for containerized use.

## Usage in Arch Linux

Discourse is currently being tested as a replacement for FluxBB as the forum software. You can try it here https://discourse.sandbox.archlinux.org.
