1. Be respectful

Treat everyone with respect. No harassment, personal attacks, hate speech, or discrimination. Disagree about technology; don't attack people.

2. Stay on topic

Post in the right category. Keep threads focused. If a discussion drifts, start a new topic and link back.

3. No secrets, ever

Never paste secrets into a post. This includes:

• Database passwords (MariaDB, Redis)
• API tokens (NodeBB, Let's Encrypt, GitHub, Docker registry)
• Anything from a site's .env file
• SSH private keys or host credentials
• ACME account keys

If you need to share config for debugging, redact first. Replace secret values with <redacted>. The project's security policy applies here too.

4. Search before you post

Someone may have already asked. Use the search bar. If you find a related thread, reply there instead of starting a duplicate.

5. Give enough context to help

When asking for help, include:

• What you were trying to do (the exact wpfy command)
• What you expected
• What happened instead
• The output of wpfy debug (redacted)
• Your OS and Docker version (ubuntu 24.04, docker 27.x, etc.)
• A redacted .env if the issue involves a specific site

See How to ask a good wpfy support question for a template.

6. No spam or self-promotion

This is a community for wpfy users. Don't post ads, affiliate links, or unrelated promotions. Sharing a relevant tool or blog post in the context of a real question is fine.

7. Respect the license

wpfy is AGPL-3.0. If you share modified source, follow the license terms.
