Discourse as Comment System

Author: JOduMonTCreated Dec 9, 2023Updated Dec 21, 2025

Describe the solution you'd like

Lately I discovered that; theorically (I'm only an old Linux SysAdmin) it would be possible to use Discourse as a Comment System

Describe alternatives you've considered

to replace Discourse: I considered Disqus, Discord, Commento, ...

  • but as I want to build a private community in long term they are not viable
    • Only maybe NodeBB; but I did'nt found persistant developper on the subject

to replace NextJS; : I considered Hugo Ghost, Wordpress, GravCMS ...

  • but I'm very tired of hosting a complete CMS for delivering static pages.
    • with Notion it is very conveniant to post and manage content
      • but this is also possible via AirTable and; less obvious, Obsidian
  • and Directus is too abstract for me and my users.

Additional context
