Discourse
Discourse is an open-source Internet forum system. It is developed using Ruby on Rails and Ember.js, making it a robust and highly performant web application. It is known for its user-friendly interface, real-time updates, and mobile responsiveness. Discourse is not just a forum software; it is a platform designed to promote healthy, engaging discussions among community members.
Installation
Native package
The new forum is available as discourseAUR.
The current version is out of date, and has an issue with redis-namespace

In order to build the latest version and avoid the redis-namespace
issue, download the snapshot.
In the PKGBUILD
file, change the version number from 2.6.2
to 3.0.0
*and* rename COPYRIGHT.txt
to COPYRIGHT.md
.
Containerized
There is also an official Docker image suited for containerized use.
Usage in Arch Linux
