- [Limitations with YunoHost](#limitations-with-yunohost)
- [Useful links](#useful-links)

Discourse has all the usual features of a discussion forum: users, discussions, search, private messages, etc. The "mailing list" mode allows you to use most of the forum's functionalities via e-mail. Written in Ruby and JavaScript, it requires a PostgreSQL database and a mail server.[¹](#sources)

## Limitations with YunoHost

In the administration dashboard, The installed version is shown as unknown (due the fact that we don't use Git for installation); you can safely ignore that as the YunoHost package will be maintained. On ARM devices, default generated avatars are missing the profile initials (they are only a plain discus).
