Running Flarum as a farm?

LaPingvino

How hard would it be to run Flarum as a collection of loosely linked forums in one installation/to adjust it e.g. with an extension to accomplish this?

LaPingvino Multi-instance Flarum is possible (Freeflarum is doing it), but an extension wouldn't be enough: you'll need to substitute in a custom skeleton and Server/Application classes so that various config is loaded depending on the URL. It's possible, but would require a fair bit of time/work from experienced developers.

One of the easiest solutions, as far as my experiments go, is to do an install and then override the config.php by dynamically setting the database configuration based on the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and similar values. This does require a database to be created for new instances ahead of traffic being handled by them.
