Discourse is a really great opensource forum, written in Ruby on Rails and Ember.js.
We should try to use it to complement mailing lists and IRC in internal communication, when we need persistent, searchable discussions (with helpful links to the outside world) for a broad and offtopicky subjects.
My aim is to set up an instance (probably in Cloud, but Discourse natural deployment strategy is docker), bind it to our internal SAML for authentication, and call that https://discourse.suse.de
SAML authorization proxy
https://gitlab.suse.de/kpimenov/samlauthproxy
Deployment scripts (for SLE12)
https://gitlab.suse.de/kpimenov/discourse_playbook
Setup for demo:
In the /etc/hosts
file:
10.162.168.34 discourse.suse.de
10.162.168.34 discourse-auth-proxy.suse.de

Status update
It turns out, auth plugin is not the right path for us to follow, as it can only complement classical login-and-password auth in Discourse.
The correct way to implement only the SAML SSO is to build a proxy, which will respond to Discourse SSO spec and forward requests to the selected SAML endpoint.
That's my plan for today.

- you can have emails. even opening new threads via email should be possible.
- you don't need saml. ancor already has an omniauth plugin for ichain style auth.
- we already have discourse packages and I actually have it running on my private machine.

TO DO

- Product page
- Admin area -- Supplies calculator based on orders -- Orders notification
- Authentication
- Payment
- Deployment
Day 1
As my Rails knowledge was pretty outdated and I had 0 experience with Turbo (wich I want to use in the app), I started following a turbo-rails course. I completed 5 of 11 chapters.
Day 2
Continued the course until chapter 8 and added live updates & an empty state to the app. I should finish the course on day 3 and start my own project with the knowledge from it.
Hackweek 24
For this Hackweek I'll continue this project, focusing on a Catalog/Calculator for my wife's recipes so she can use for her Café.
