Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

Sanguine

And there was much rejoicing

FreeFlarum (beta) now supports custom domains

A new SETTINGS section is live at FreeFlarum where you can hook up your own domain with your Free Flarum. A few notes:

You can login with your forum name and a Flarum admin password. NB every admin can login, so be careful who you hand out admin roles to!
Custom names work for domains, such as discuss.yourname.com. Setup: go to your domain provider and add a DNS CNAME record pointing to yourname.freeflarum.com. Then go to FreeFlarum settings and enter your domain name.
Only 1 domain name can be active at any time. If you set up a custom name, visitors of yourname.freeforum.com will automatically be redirected.
A LetsEncrypt SSL cert for your domain will automatically get registered.

Have fun!

Sanguine I'm actually impressed with the enthusiasm you have towards this. Good luck.

jazzi

Sanguine Is Custom Domains still workable? can't find it in the settings section with admin role.

I have 2 new extensions suggestions :

https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4222-signature-extension to enable signature for users
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4699-money-extension to add a simple gamification (give points to users for discussions and messages)

Keep on your good work ?

Sanguine

Antoine Installed! Also made a PR on your money ext to add a URL so people can actually click through for more information.

Ralkage

Not sure if you want to pick this tranliteration extension but it is an updated version with some extra mojo added for modernists.

Zeokat

Ralkage Yep, Avatar4eg transliterator adds functionality of Behat transliterator. The transliterator that i posted is based on WordPress transliterator (modern and bulletproof).

Sanguine

Zeokat (cc Ralkage ) installed SEO friendly slugs! Thanks for making the extension

Ralkage

ReFlar/ReDevs would like to mention your services on our website if you allow such things ?

I'm redoing our entire website and I think free sponsorship is something we'd like to look into until we get money rolling in and then take it to the next level (future investing?).

Ralkage 502 Bad Gateway

Oops, Sunday evening deployment gone awry. Fixed it right away.

Ralkage ReFlar/ReDevs would like to mention your services on our website if you allow such things

Much appreciated!

Ralkage

@Sanguine 502 Bad Gateway upon registration testing. No new Flarum instance is created ?

FreeFlarum now uses Mailgun high quality email delivery

Because Hotmail (and only Hotmail) kept classifying our signup mails as spam, I've decided to forget about building IP reputation myself and plugged in Mailgun. It works like a charm. So as of today, Mailgun integration is available to all registered forums, free of charge!

duman

Sanguine hotmail hates me as well. Even banned my IP for a week for no reason at all. ? I'm using sendgrid now.

Felli

@Sanguine another request for an extension would be Admin Dashboard

Sanguine

Felli I like it, but the extensions section of the admin dashboard wouldn't work. Hosted Flarums cannot modify the code (for the sake of security and maintenance).

YohoYang

I see "FreeFlarum aims to be self-sufficient by running a small amount of ads on the provided forums and charging a fee for larger forums (>100 users)." on About page.
Is that mean if my forum users over 100 then I cound't use freeflarum free anymore?

Sanguine

YohoYang Yes for now. However I am researching the option to keep larger forums free as well. It depends on the ad revenue, which I haven't implemented yet.

Guarantee: if, at any point, you are unhappy with FreeFlarum.com, you can always download your forum data and host it elsewhere.

YohoYang

And.... Today when I'm config extensions, the flarum was broken.
Maybe we need a "reset" button on control panel.

Felli

YohoYang Try using Ctrl Shift R or Ctrl F5 for a forced refresh.

YohoYang

Felli Is not a cache error... But maybe cache is on cdn. I will try it.

==========
turn off cdn, then all is fine.

ChadJessen

Wow, this is pretty awesome! You are going all out! I like that you want Flarum to be successful and are taking proactive steps to help it become that way. Great job! Once I figure out an awesome domain name, I will be signing up and utilizing your service.

Thanks!
