Recently I saw several invalid-labeled issues and premade templates could be good a solution to decrase number of them and make It easier for people to ask, suggest, report and answer. For now templates for 4 actions specified above might be enough.

• external website & client integration
• create issues for each report in this repo

I can't join any servers or add any friends!

Instead of showing your 'Direct Messages' (I know DMs have not been added yet) it shows this:

Allow users to accept DMs from non friends, with an opt-in setting.

The server opens and says wait a little time and then it simply crashes

The demo instance needs its own terms of service.

Right now it looks like a password harvesting site, if you're not done with everything you should take it down.

I'm following the contributing guide to try to get a local Fosscord server running and when I do npm start in both the HTTP API server api/ and the gateway gateway/, I get the following type error after attempting to connect to the local MongoDB instance:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'merge' of undefined
    at Object.init (/home/dsleung/fosscord/api/node_modules/@fosscord/server-util/dist/util/Config.js:35:37)

    at async FosscordServer.start (/home/dsleung/fosscord/api/dist/Server.js:68:9)

The full output of npm start for the API server:

I've tried updating @fosscord/server-util to the latest version under api/ (successfully), but to no avail - the issue still persists:

$ npm i @fosscord/[email protected]

Environment details:

• OS: CentOS 8 Stream
• Node version: 14.17.3
• npm version: 6.14.13

So I just tried dev.fosscord.com/app (its amazing mostly for the free nitro lol) but the problem is that my profile banner won't change, I tried 3 gifs. I have a decent internet connection (⬇ 93.7 Mbps and ⬆ 84.2 Mbps) and live in India so I don't think that matters.

Following the setup outlined in https://docs.fosscord.com/contributing.html , I executed the following commands on Ubuntu 20.04 server with Docker installed and running and the current user added to the docker group (so no sudo is required):

$ git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/fosscord/fosscord
$ cd fosscord
$ git submodule foreach "git checkout master && git pull origin master"
$ docker-compose up

After waiting for a few minutes to stabilize, running $ docker container ls gives me the following output indicating the services are up and running:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                       COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS                      NAMES
c8ba84cffee1   fosscord_fosscord-api       "docker-entrypoint.s…"   7 minutes ago   Up 7 minutes   0.0.0.0:3001->3001/tcp     api
ede3cc550fe7   fosscord_fosscord-gateway   "docker-entrypoint.s…"   7 minutes ago   Up 7 minutes   0.0.0.0:3002->3002/tcp     gateway
463773e75603   mongo                       "docker-entrypoint.s…"   7 minutes ago   Up 7 minutes   0.0.0.0:27017->27017/tcp   mongo

However, when I try to access http://localhost:3001 using curl, I get (same for port 3002):

$ curl http://localhost:3001
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

https://serverfault.com/a/769583 suggested that this error may be due to the service listening to a port other than 3001, so I peered inside both containers from the fosscord_fosscord-api and fosscord_fosscord-gateway images and get:

$ docker container exec -it c8ba84cffee1 /bin/sh
# netstat -an | grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.11:37439        0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      

$ docker container exec -it ede3cc550fe7 /bin/sh
# netstat -an | grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.11:34517        0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      

So it seems that the API server and gateway are listening to random high-numbered ports instead of the intended ports 3001-3002. Or am I mistaken?

im trying to signup/ login but it says i need a network i pt in fosccord.com and it didnt even show

Just a way for a self-hosted server could communicate with another one so for example a guy on one server can chat with another guy on a completely different server.

The forgot password link on the Login Page does not work when clicked.

When i resend my verification email, it gives me an error

EDIT: Closing This For Now Since i Find A Way How To Deal With That Now

I know it's a WIP.
I thought I might mention it.

Reuse Nitro classic and Nitro flags as feature tier flags in a binary fashion:

00: base
01: premium 1
10: premium 2
11: premium 3

you know self explanatory on the title asking for answers not angry

The boomerang logo, unlike game controller logo, cannot be confused with Discord Inc.'s logo.

it would be great if someone makes a RPC script for the devs that displays all useful information about this project to reach more devs to work on this, thank you :)

dev.fosscord.com does not have a favicon.

Hi, I've been looking at testing out Fosscord locally and am currently following the steps in https://docs.fosscord.com/contributing.html

When I run the first command $ git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/fosscord/fosscord, Git seems to hang indefinitely at cloning https://github.com/fosscord/fosscord.js-collection so I disabled parallel clone (the -j8 flag) and tried again. It then asked me to enter my GitHub username and password twice, to which it informed that cloning failed (both times) for that particular submodule so the cloning of the main project failed. Upon inspection, https://github.com/fosscord/fosscord.js-collection returns a 404 when I try to visit it.

My question: is it expected for this particular submodule to fail during cloning and can I safely work on the project in the absence of this submodule?

In case this is relevant, I'm performing the clone on a CentOS 8 Stream system.

Currently this project can't be called Open Source or free software since it doesn't have a license that meets any of the 2 criteria (or even at all).

Just in case, if you want a recommendation, I'd recommend AGPL-3.0-or-later for the server and GPL-3.0-or-later for the client. If you want extensions to be able to remain proprietary, then LGPL-3.0-or-later is fine for the client, too. These would ensure that the project remains free software.

By the way, all contributors would need to agree to licensing their existing contributions under whatever license you choose. (This step doesn't need to be done in the future thanks to GitHub's ToS.)

(IANAL, this is not legal advice.)

Data protection law requires personally identifying data should not be accessible to service operators in plain form unless absolutely required. Hence, the database should be made to allow at-rest symmetric and/or end-to-end public key homomorphic encryption.

My school's blocking system is blocking dev.fosscord.com for "Unknown Proxy" I know it isn't my administrator, it's just the page. Please fix this, my school uses this as a substitute since discord is blocked through our Securely.

About this issue

Support for bridging to Matrix should be an first-class feature, either through an built-in feature or adding backwards-compatible Matrix AS API.

Any possible roadblocks

Since the Matrix spec is not yet an official spec at IETF, like ActivityPub, and as per the docs, writing Matrix homeservers are magnitudes harder than writing bridges, bots, or clients.

I think my unofficial CLI should be make official and added to the organization.

It would be nice if the user was able to use a custom made theme's from the community or they can make their own.

anyways...
Please fix the readme link because it leads to a 404 page @Flam3rboy
https://github.com/fosscord/fosscord/tree/main/setup

"Or if you want to setup all repositories have a look at the Readme"
"Originally posted by @Flam3rboy in #10 (comment)"

I see the LICENSE file contains a license header for AGPL-3.0-only. I would recommend that text be moved to a License subheading in the README file at least and the LICENSE file should contain the entirety of the AGPLv3 license. The benefit of this change is that LICENSE would be more obvious and displayed in the first page view of the GitHub project.

I would be happy to make a PR for this change.

Have a look at http://docs.fosscord.com/ to get an overview about the project.
Read the documentation and setup the development environment.
You should be familiar with the discord api or read more about it in the docs.

Then create feature request issue in one our repos or comment on an existing one.
Or just write us on our development server.

Repos list

After making an issue, wait for message from one of our staff.
You will get informations about your feature.
Then, you can Pull Request that, and wait for review.

When you click 'Count Me In!' it does not do anything, (no dialog or anything)

I'd like to run my Fosscord instance with no internet access, but as soon as I cut the connection to the outside Internet, I can't do much with it, as it loses connection with some sort of service. How can I do it so Fosscord doesn't use any services using Internet access, or at least make it so Internet access isn't required?

Even if this is a really early state and nobody knows how Discord will handle this (I hope to not see u in front of the judge), but myb it would make sense to implement a way to login without the discord account to be safe that you can use fosscord without getting eventually banned from discord.

a white empty page appears.

When I try to sign up, the submit button change to a infinite loading button.
So, I can't sign up.
Anybody can fix this issue, please?

I've been recently banned from discord for using a 3rd party client (as expected), and i wanted to continue to see the evolution of the project, maybe consider creating a matrix channel? (With bridging)

Do you support or have any plans of supporting revolt chat ?

It would be nice if fosscord supported the Matrix API, so that it could connect people from it's environment too.

I recon that implementing the Matrix API in the server could be too much; in that case, making it easy to make a bridge between fosscord and matrix could be a more feasible idea.

In any case, considering this option from the beginning should ease future attempts to interconnect both.

/setup

• allow to install multiple repos in one installation or all of them
• make the scripts OS independent
• ?add script cli-arguments REF
• finish:
