= Discourse Admin =

We are running an instance of [https://www.discourse.org/ discourse] on septima. User facing documentation: [wiki:comment].

It was installed by following the [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md discourse install directions], which essentially automate the installation of a docker app.

It's not ideal - since it pulls images from docker's repo, however, the complexity of this app makes a manual installation seem overwhelming.

The x509 certificate is automatically handled by letsencrypt.

The email is relayed via bulk.mayfirst.org.

We login via [https://meta.discourse.org/t/official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045 Discourse's single sign on implementation] (which users our control panel to authenticate users).

== Logging in ==

There is a `discourse-admin` user with credentials in [wiki:keyringer keyringer] tied to `discourse@mayfirst.org` email address.

== Upgrading ==

You can upgrade from within Discourse (while logged in as the admin) which rebuilds the docker application.

== Backups ==

Backups are configured within Discourse to run once a day and backup to `/var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default/` - which is configured by backupninja to be backed up to our backup servers.
