# Discourse
## Prepare Your Settings
In your auth project's settings file, do the following:
- Add `'allianceauth.services.modules.discourse',` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` list
- Append the following to your local.py settings file:
```python
# Discourse Configuration
DISCOURSE_URL = ''
DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME = ''
DISCOURSE_API_KEY = ''
DISCOURSE_SSO_SECRET = ''
```
## Install Docker
wget -qO- https://get.docker.io/ | sh
## Install Discourse
### Download Discourse
mkdir /var/discourse
git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse
### Configure
cd /var/discourse
cp samples/standalone.yml containers/app.yml
nano containers/app.yml
Change the following:
- `DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS` should be a list of admin account email addresses separated by commas.
- `DISCOUSE_HOSTNAME` should be `discourse.example.com` or something similar.
- Everything with `SMTP` depends on your mail settings. [There are plenty of free email services online recommended by Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-email.md#recommended-email-providers-for-discourse) if you haven't set one up for auth already.
To install behind Apache/Nginx, look for this section:
...
## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose?
expose:
- "80:80" # fwd host port 80 to container port 80 (http)
...
Change it to this:
...
## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose?
expose:
- "7890:80" # fwd host port 7890 to container port 80 (http)
...
Or any other port will do, if taken. Remember this number.
### Build and launch
nano /etc/default/docker
Uncomment this line:
DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4"
Restart Docker:
service docker restart
Now build:
./launcher bootstrap app
./launcher start app
## Web Server Configuration
You will need to configure your web server to proxy requests to Discourse.
A minimal Apache config might look like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName discourse.example.com
ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:7890/
ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:7890/
</VirtualHost>
A minimal Nginx config might look like:
server {
listen 80;
server_name discourse.example.com;
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7890;
}
}
## Configure API
### Generate admin account
From the `/var/discourse` directory,
./launcher enter app
rake admin:create
Follow prompts, being sure to answer `y` when asked to allow admin privileges.
### Create API key
Navigate to `discourse.example.com` and log on. Top right press the 3 lines and select `Admin`. Go to API tab and press `Generate Master API Key`.
Add the following values to your auth project's settings file:
- `DISCOURSE_URL`: `https://discourse.example.com` (do not add a trailing slash!)
- `DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME`: the username of the admin account you generated the API key with
- `DISCOURSE_API_KEY`: the key you just generated
### Configure SSO
Navigate to `discourse.example.com` and log in. Back to the admin site, scroll down to find SSO settings and set the following:
- `enable_sso`: True
- `sso_url`: `http://example.com/discourse/sso`
- `sso_secret`: some secure key
Save, now set `DISCOURSE_SSO_SECRET` in your auth project's settings file to the secure key you just put in Discourse.
Finally run migrations and restart Gunicorn and Celery.
