Talkyard VS matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Recently I considered replacing the Talkyard comments solution on my notes here with something I've built myself. To do that I need a database. I was looking at different Postgres hosting options when I recalled I had seen buzz from developers on Twitter about Supabase. I wondered if that could be my database host?

I switched to TalkYard, which has been a much better experience. They're OSS, they support both blog posts and full-fledged forums, and the maintainer is extremely responsive and active.

Talkyard

Hello! Here there will be discussions about the software named Talkyard, and related things. (https://github.com/debiki/talkyard)

Maybe then it'd make sense if I mentioned Talkyard (which I'm developing) https://www.talkyard.io (open source) — it has automatic upgrades. There's not yet any plugin system, instead currently "everything" is built-in, and there are (unfortunately) fewer features.

We are using https://www.talkyard.io to set this up - it is a stackoverflow-esque community interface with a bit of slack mixed in.

You may be using Discourse but you should be using TalkYard.

As some others have said, matrix is great at this.

I use this ansible playbook to set it all up: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy it supports slack and discord too.

You can also use beeper which is hosted if you don't want to self host. They employ one of the major bridge Devs so they know what they're doing.

There's also element one from the Devs of matrix but they don't support all services you're looking for.

Exactly yeah, I used this bridge with this playbook

Check the ansible instructions first: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/tree/master

matrix-docker-ansible-deploy looks like a good way to go.

You could maybe check out this URL about setting up Oracle free tier but it could be outdated. I just recommend using the Matrix Ansible Playbook

I installed my home server via the ansible playbook, gave myself admin privileges and then enabled the api in the playbook. The playbook sets up the server with a reverse proxy and im geting an error 'NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource' when i enter in my credentials.

Yeah sorry I was on mobile when I wrote that so I didn't have it to hand.
