I find it easy to install extensions via composer. However, I cannot seem to wrap my head around the installation process of composer and Flarum itself. I've tried it on shared hosting with Pockethold, but I really want to get Flarum installed on a Digital Ocean Droplet. Does anyone offer installation services? Just someone who can go in and get it installed for me? I know there's Free Flarum, but I want to use extensions they do not and may never offer.

Does anyone offer Flarum installation services?

stryguardian there is quite a good tutorial on that by them: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-composer-on-ubuntu-20-04. Personally, I'd recommend a different hosting solution for you. If you are not familiar with running a droplet I'd refrain from it due to operation and security concerns. A shared host that allows SSH access with composer might be a better solution here.

I can help install it for you. But as mentioned above if you are not good at running a VPS, that might affect badly security-wise in long run.

But my offer stays.

stryguardian like dilip said its hard to manage vps in the long run, subscribe vps from cloudways they will buy vps from digital ocean behalf of you and they will maintain vps for you (I'm doing the same)

in my case, after buying vps from cloudways I've contacted support (live chat) they installed flarum for me. installing flarum is so easy.

Happy to assist in the installation of this myself, if you'd like.
Just let me know 🙂

meetdilip katos It seems a VPS would be a bit much for me. Would it be possible to install on shared hosting with SSH access, and is that something that would be fairly easy to do? How much would you charge for that service?

meetdilip

I think +Katos can do it better than me. If he is unavailable, ping me.

I'm also happy to help with this. @meetdilip can attest to my services. Failing that...

I did receive a lot of advice when I tried to set it up the first time. 🙂

katos

stryguardian That's entirely possible, yes.
I'm happy to do so for free 🙂

stryguardian

katos Hi, thank you so much for your willingness to help. I seem unable to private message you. Can you message me so that we can discuss further?
