Community Rules & Code of Conduct

arnab

These rules keep the wpfy forum useful, safe, and welcoming for everyone. By posting you agree to follow them.

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.

Enforcement

Moderators may edit, move, lock, or delete posts that break these rules. Repeated or severe violations lead to account suspension. Appeals go in Forum Rules & Meta.

Reporting

Use the flag button on a post to report rule violations. Don't reply to argue — flag and let moderators handle it.
