| Question | — |
Why shouldn't one run a production server in Docker? QPixel's Docker documentation says that the Docker setup is intended for development environments, not production. The documentation calls out one specific issue: email doesn't work. Are there other reasons not to run a production system in Docker? (more) |

Oh yeah, you're right -- that banner was _right there_ and I still forgot about it. (more) |

If production systems are supposed to use `https` (I don't know if that's the case), then instead of the code trying to detect dev vs. prod (can it know?), I'd rather update the instructions for dev to say "change that". (more) |

I found some uses of `:base` for this, yes. Thanks again for the help; I submitted a PR. (more) |

Oh, I should think of it as a *field* error rather than a *post* error. Thanks! I see an example there that uses `:base`, which might be a way to attach the error to the higher-level object, but rather than introduce a variant approach into the code I'll adjust the message to say something like "Ta...

How should I fix this incorrect error message (don't quite understand the code) I saw this report about a bug in an error message and figured that would be an easy fix. The incorrect error message is: "Tags can't have more than 5 tags". That should be "Posts can't have...". I figured I'd need to find and edit a string. I grepped the code and found my way to `app/models/pos... (more) |

How does caching work in qpixel? Where are the entry points? Caching is really important for scaling. I know we cache some data -- something about tags (tags for a post?) has been discussed on meta, and I know the "new posts" silver dot (badge) is cached so we don't check it on every page-load. How and where is caching implemented? If I want to add a new ... (more) |

How does a newcomer to Ruby get oriented in the qpixel code? I am new to Ruby (and Rails) and have just (finally) succeeded in setting up qpixel on my Mac. I headed over to our easy GitHub issues looking for something to use to get started, and then realized... wait, I don't know my way around this code base at all. There are presumably conventions about wha... (more) |

A: How can I remove a category from a community? I believe there's no way to remove a category without direct database hackery. We didn't want to have a Meta category for Collab, but when I asked about nuking it people expressed concerns about clobbering one of the default ones (nobody was quite sure what would break). The category is here, but w... (more) |

@#53922 the question is about the *data*. Not the *database*. It's the difference between asking what the length is on the "name" column in the users table (that's in the code) and asking how long the longest name *actually in use* is. (more) |

@#53922 this is a question about data in the production server. Setting up another instance and querying its database won't help. (more) |

A: How can I add post types to a category? Did you run the database seeds? (`rails db:seed`) That should have set up initial post types, help topics, and probably some other stuff. (Edit: but it didn't work for me either, so...) If you want to define a new post type, go to the admin tools and choose "post types" (`admin/post-types`). T... (more) |

Are you blocked entirely, or is it just that post that hits the block? (No idea what would be causing it, but trying to understand the magnitude of the problem.) (more) |

My first thought was to go back in time to before that commit, but it looks like you would miss some other stuff, including at least one PR from you if I recall correctly. Whether it's stuff that's relevant for the immediate task you're working on, I don't know. But it made me wonder if a more targ... (more) |

A: How to circumvent Stripe::AuthenticationError: No API key provided I don't know the correct way to do this, but I was looking at the commit that added donations, and I wonder, as a workaround until you get the correct answer (presumably from Art), it would work to comment out a couple things. Specifically, can you find the place in the project where `app/assets/j... (more) |

A: Is there a QPixel development roadmap somewhere or can we have one? This is a great idea, thank you! We've been kind of keeping it in piecemeal notes and in people's heads and stuff, and that is not a path of clarity and growth. I'm planning to work on putting together a draft. I'd like to get buy-in from the leads first (to make sure I'm not listing things that w... (more) |

Oh interesting; it didn't occur to me, even though it should have, that I don't need my *own* hardware for this. I don't know very much about getting set up on AWS; do you tell them "I want an Ubuntu image", or do they give you an endpoint and it's up to you to install an OS, or what? I assume I wo... (more) |

What's a low-effort option for a Codidact development machine? I would like to be able to work with qpixel in a development environment so I could (try to) fix small bugs and build and test locally. I don't have a developer setup now and my OS is apparently too old for some of our tools. Changing the OS on the personal machine on which I depend is not an optio... (more) |

How does help get propagated, both seeds and updates? (What do doc maintainers need to know?) I know this is buried in Discord somewhere, but for better findability: There is a seeds script (where?) that takes new help topics and propagates them to communities on a network. Where do those help topics need to be deposited? (We're using a separate docs repo to create them and then they get... (more) |

What user-facing things aren't covered well by automated tests (and should be tested manually)? We have automated tests (good). Automated tests usually don't cover everything, so when there's a new version we want to test (say, on the dev server), I'd like to be able to prioritize things that wouldn't be uncovered through our automated tests. Maintaining a full catalog of test cases as seen... (more) |
