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) |

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) |

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) |

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) |

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) |
