  • [SUSPENDED] Help us build the official Flarum hosting service

I would suggest setting minimum word length value to 3 or 2 characters. Current value of 4 omits important searches. For example audio engineers will often search for "sm 57".

    Thanks for the suggestion, I set it down to two characters. I'll make a note to configure this for production gear as well.

        That day launched the 0.1.0 version - beta.6 ?

          I don't know that we be doing installs outside of our hosting platform. Customization is going to be offered for higher level packages, or with individual/custom contracts, but this is further down the road when we are out of beta and going steady with our production getup.

            Geele Flarum is simple installation process, you can install easily with your hosting services. i installed my self in shared hosting which is working fine.

              Any chance to get into the beta signup? (says full)

              I want to start my forum, already seen all the other options, discourse, nodebb, etc - I want YOURS!

              The reason I want hosted is because you will manage the upgrade.

              Please invite ?

                Wow! We've filled our quota for the week. Please try back in a few days. Thank you!

                This is revolutionarily magical. ?

                Our beta hosting service has been discontinued indefinitely due to personal reasons. We didn't intend to reach such a premature conclusion with the project, but felt it was in the best interest of Flarum to put hosting on hold for a while.

                For anyone looking to get their data, you can email us at flarumhosting@gmail.com and we'll attach your avatars and database in a reply. We apologize for the abrupt disconnect, and will help with making sure you can transition to your own hosting vps/dedi/shared if you would like to continue trying out Flarum while it's in beta.

                I'd like to differentiate between the beta hosting and a stable hosting platform. We feel it's best to make Flarum stable first and foremost. Providing a hosting solution is still high on the list, but comes second to high-quality code, and that requires our star developer to focus on just this and not get bogged down with extras.

                We received a lot of feedback on what people want and expect out of a quality hosting platform and Flarum software through this process, and would like to thank you all for helping us learn through the short time this Beta hosting trial was offered.

                Again, our apologies for the abrupt ending.

                Tuning of PHP and MySQL depends on your hardware setup. It wouldn't be applicable from one system to the next.

                We had, for instance, 30 PHP-FPM children on a 6 core hyperthreaded xeon. I found 2.5 processes per thread to be optimal. How this translates to a single vcore vps? It probably doesn't. The server also had 36GB of ram, so we could have a very large shared cache with MySQL. I even tuned Opcache to use up to 1GB, though it never reached over ~400MB.

                  Not good news that the hosting service is being taken down, but considering the circumstances it would only be wise. Thank you for your hard work of course @webeindustry and hopefully this project can go live again soon after the first stable release.

                  Wow that is indeed abrupt. Is that why my website, one hosted with you, went offline randomly? I'll have to setup a new hosting solution...

                    We're not hosting websites, we're hosting forums. If you were hosting a forum with us, they are wiped as mentioned above. Shoot us an email and we'll get you your database + avatars.

                        I'm curious. When you say personal reasons, do you actually mean personal reasons or relationships with Flarum in general?
