What?

 

@mods close this thread.

 

I don't think self/site advertising should be allowed in this context.

HelioHost uses cPanel, you'd need to manually add records.

 

I recommend just creating a subfolder.

 

<domain>/~<user>/

 

Wildcard DNS does not exist btw.

 

So I am not getting ffmpeg, am I?

There you go

# which ffmpeg
/usr/bin/ffmpeg

Don't blame me when you get suspended.

ffmpeg -i krydos.user -o krydos.heliohost

 

Processing krydos.user (2.3TB) into krydos.heliohost.

Let's just put Cygwin in wine that runs on Linux subsystem for Windows, then put the Windows install in a VM that's running on top of Linux that's itself in a VM on an ESXi server that's installed inside Hyper-V and we'll be good.

"Maximum Efficiency - Guaranteed"

 

But realistically you'd be using KVM instead of ESXi.

Wine in Cygwin on Wine. Lol

Some people got Xorg and wine working on the Linux Subsystem for Windows. Lol

Yeah, wordpress is extremely slow.

 

Check out other, faster CMSs.

@mrj you can install ffmpeg on your phone then.

 

Install "Termux" and type:

 

pkg update

pkg install ffmpeg

Congratulations wolstech! A great post too.

 

Linux is not hard to learn imo

@Krydos it must be showing as MySQL: SSL enabled to the program then.

Ty, this DST stuff is quite popular now

@Bailey hide your email with Google's mailhide or similar.

 

Too many b0ts, much spam.

Sure, email me the details

What type of website?

 

If it's a WP/Blog-type website, I prefer not to touch it (well... I could, it's very uninteresting... :3)

 

Anything else, I don't mind.

 

As far as gameservers go: not really experienced with your types, I could try but websites are easier to work with.

Don't use non-maintained forums.

 

I recommend a MyBB forum.

 

__

A more older forum (that is in bug-fix only mode) that I enjoy is mwForum.

@Krydos what usually causes core dumps?

 

It used to occur on one of my development environments, it got patched, I believe.

Sending files individually can take a long time, compress it into a .zip or a .tar.gz

I don't see any public git repositories above, can someone create a personal repository for the code in the meantime?

 

I'm okay with @mrj being in the dev board.

More future-tense: how do we plan to accept patches?

 

Via the GitHub PR's and/or .patch files (hosted on GitHub Gist or pastebin) in the dev forum, I'd assume?

 

We should look into self hosting our data later on like having our own GitLab CE, maybe.

I don't have enough time or enough motivation to rewrite my email scripts, account creation scripts, and all the other custom modifications I've made to these forums. I love a challenge, but doing the same thing more than once bores me. Perhaps if there was something wrong with these forums it would solve the motivation issue.

I think the email scripts and account creation is the only blockers for upgrading the forum, the other modifications (like the theme.) done to this forum will not be needed as it doesn't need to be carried over.

 

Maybe you could post a sample of the scripts (remove any Auth/data.)) we're working with to GitHub as @Bailey said.

 

And isn't this forum version End of Lifed?

 

Better security could be helpful *wink wink*

I recommend just renaming the wiki section.

Can I request access too?

 

I am miwilc on GitHub

@Bailey you are reading the license document, you are not allowed to change the license.

 

You can modify the source code.

 

Take a read https://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

Update V2:

 

The merge tool is setup, https://helio.miwilc.com/merge/

 

Pending the database, and if the staff wants to go through with this.

 

I've disabled registrations on the website while we wait.

@Bailey you misunderstood the current forum is under a IPB paid license.

MyBB is GNU GPLv3, a free software license that encourages forking/tweaking.

 

Anyways, we will not be touching the source for either forums, it is not necessary.

 

As I said before, we only need the database.

Github is not necessary for the forum itself @Bailey, it would probably be a violation of the license. I just need the database.

 

@Krydos hmm, maybe. This is a older plugin for MyBB http://mods.mybb.com/view/post-via-email but replies are not sent back (via email.) 🤔, but using this we can still keep the current email, but replies are going to be tricky.

 

Should we go ahead with this?

I can start setting up the development environment for anyone who wants to work on it.

 

Edit: I've started the initial setup on https://helio.miwilc.com/

 

/This thread probably needs to split to the development forum.

Hmm, I'm curious, is the majority of the process handled in the script files?

 

Because it should be easy to write a wrapper plugin for that.

 

https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/development/plugins/basics/#plugin-hooks

 

I think it should be easy to setup cPanel creation (should be called after member_do_register_end) but

 

can the staff entertain the idea of dropping the support email?

Maybe setting up a autoresponder on the current one and maintaining a separate email for DMCA's.

 

I doubt we can get two way [email->forum|forum->email] even if we did do this. It will most likely be email->forum only but even that is doubtful.

If this is going to take time, why not @Krydos create a repo on the personal account and grant commit privileges to @Bailey.

@Bailey it helps to view the forum software and the code for cPanel integration (etc.) as separate things.

 

As the forum itself can be easily upgraded but the custom code will need to be reprogrammed to work with the new forum software, this is what takes time.
