Discourse is self-hostable; they can't require their users to use a filesystem that supports deduplication. (Or, well, they could, but it would greatly complicate installation and maintenance and whatnot, and also there would need to be some kind of story for existing installations.)
- bravetraveler 7mo agoFair, I am/was confused by the hosting model and presentation. This is a nice User-preparation/consideration, I guess. I still maintain a backup filesystem unaware of duplication at the block level is a mistake. I completely overlooked the shipping-of-tarballs. Links make sense, here. I had 'unpacked' and relatively-local data in mind. Absolutely would not go as far to suggest their scheme pick up 'zfs {send,receive}'/equivalent, lol.
- ameliaquining 7mo agoThey do also offer it as multi-tenant hosted SaaS, and the post is about their experience running backups on that. But whatever solution they use has to also work with the self-hosted version, which imposes some constraints.
