I hope you’re all doing well. I’m reaching out because I could use some advice from our wonderful community.
I’m working on an exciting app project, and I just found out that my client would love to include a forum for their customers. I’m looking for recommendations on a self-hosted forum solution that meets the following criteria:
Production-ready
Preferably written in Go of course. (So I can easily modify it)
Has at least one well-documented backup method
Allows customization of the authentication system
Supports German language
I know I could Google this, but I’d much rather hear from you all about your personal experiences. Has anyone worked with a forum that fits these needs? I’d be incredibly grateful for any insights or recommendations you could share.
Thanks in advance for your help, and I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
There was some discussion about this a little while back:
Apache Answer does indeed look like a good option. But it’s more geared towards question/answer format over conversations. Also I don’t know about customizing authentication. But the big ones are mostly covered in that thread I linked to (I think!).
of course. (So I can easily modify it)
