Discourse Operator

A juju charm deploying and managing Discourse on Kubernetes. Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform. Use it as a mailing list, discussion forum or long-form chat room.

This charm simplifies initial deployment and "day N" operations of Discourse on Kubernetes, such as scaling the number of instances, integration with SSO, access to S3 for redundant file storage and more. It allows for deployment on many different Kubernetes platforms, from MicroK8s or Charmed Kubernetes to public cloud Kubernetes offerings.

As such, the charm makes it easy for those looking to take control of their own discussion platform whilst keeping operations simple, and gives them the freedom to deploy on the Kubernetes platform of their choice.

For DevOps or SRE teams this charm will make operating Discourse simple and straightforward through Juju's clean interface. It will allow easy deployment into multiple environments for testing of changes, and supports scaling out for enterprise deployments.
