Self-hosted Discourse forum for the cadCAD community.

Quick Reference

ssh netcup
cd /opt/discourse

./launcher logs app        # View logs
./launcher restart app     # Restart
./launcher rebuild app     # Rebuild (after config changes)
./launcher enter app       # Shell into container
./launcher stop app        # Stop

  2. Add cadcad-forum.jeffemmett.com to Cloudflare tunnel
  3. Create admin account: ./launcher enter app → rake admin:create

Import Existing Forum Data

  1. Get .tar.gz backup from existing community.cadcad.org admin panel (/admin/backups)
  2. Upload to Netcup: scp backup.tar.gz netcup:/tmp/
  3. Run: bash scripts/restore-backup.sh /tmp/backup.tar.gz

Switch to community.cadcad.org

  1. Edit containers/app.yml: update DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME and Traefik Host() rule
  2. ./launcher rebuild app && bash scripts/post-rebuild.sh
  3. Add community.cadcad.org to Cloudflare tunnel
  4. Coordinate DNS: CNAME community.cadcad.org → tunnel UUID .cfargotunnel.com
