PSA: the FreeFlarum backup system has been revamped. I was using DAVFS2 to access a hosted external storage provider, but this system doesn't handle your large volume of forums well ? I've refactored the upload functions so that backups work solidly again.
FreeFlarum makes file and database backups at least every 24h, with a retention of 7 days. I'd say, pretty good value for money for a free service ?

Noted! Eagerly awaiting beta8...
MinhBTX it didnt work, i have "CNAME" for it but : "Oops! minhblog.tk does not CNAME to minh.freeflarum.com "
It seems you had made a correct CNAME, but did not enter your custom domain at https://www.freeflarum.com/settings. I have entered it for you and it works fine now: https://www.minhblog.tk/
Congratulations with your new forum!
FreeFlarum is an awesome platform for forum hosting!
I am getting 504 gateway timeouts on every FreeFlarum forum I have tried.... is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Frink That may be the reason why I am getting the same issue when trying to view turboprogramming's new theme. I'm sure @[deleted] will get it sorted soon.
Prosperous Yeah, thats when I started looking. I tried other FreeFlarum forums I knew existed, and they all timed out
Hi everyone! Glad to see I'm not alone. I know freeflarum.com is also broken right now, let's all hope for the best!
freeflarum.com seems to be up. Maybe there are some server issues or maybe it's getting updated? Can't get too mad at @Sanguine being that it's free and awesome!
Frink Prosperous -V- Ebi FreeFlarum and most of its forums were down today since 2:37 UTC but the service has been restored. The cause was a sudden full disk, which happened so fast that the early warning system and the failure state occurred almost simultaneously. The cause was a infinite stream of PHP error messages such as:
PHP message: PHP Notice: Undefined variable: driver in /public/vendor/illuminate/support/Manager.php on line 84
PHP message: PHP Warning: Missing argument 1 for Illuminate\Support\Manager::createDriver(), called in /public/vendor/iI suspect that it has to do with Flarum not validating input for the driver on the SMTP settings page.
Quick fix: disable logging for now.
Long term fix: validate cause and ensure input validation on mail settings page
Abstract fix: implement ring buffer for log files, so they never grow beyond a certain size
Sanguine Flarum not validating input for the driver on the SMTP settings page
Yes, that's a known issue; very frustrating because the user cannot restore the forum without editing the database manually. Validation might be problematic too because we're using Laravel and the mail driver manager is extensible..
Please note you already ran into this once ?
@Sanguine please change Russian LP URL (https://www.freeflarum.com/extensions) to
https://github.com/metastore-flarum/flarum-l10n-forum@Sanguine Can you add this to FreeFlarum.com: https://packagist.org/packages/extum/flarum-ext-material?
The first theme served as an extension, I'm pretty sure people will love it on their forums.
Thanks to you I made this fan site : https://castleburn.freeflarum.com
Could you help me to configure my DNS CNAME to reach the right URL ?
I've put something like this :
Should I just wait ?
Are you sure that the redirection is ok ?
When you are going to https://castleburn.fr are you correctly redirect to https://castleburn.freeflarum.com ?
Maybe I'm too impatient ?
kayoo123 Did you go to step #2 on FreeFlarum? ?
https://www.freeflarum.com/settings
After the CNAME portion, of course ?
kayoo123 That's not how CNAMEs work.
What a CNAME does is, in short terms, show the page that one would find at the URL it is set to.
For example, this wouldn't work, but if google.flarum.org had a CNAME to google.com, it would show Google's page.
And as Ralkage mentioned, you need to add your domain to the FreeFlarum settings.
Thanks guys, now I anderstand what is missing !!!
But when I'm trying to add my domain into FreeFLarum settings I've got this :
