Discourse is the online home for your community. We offer a 100% open source community platform to those who want complete control over how and where their site is run.
Our platform has been battle-tested for over a decade and continues to evolve to meet users’ needs for a powerful community platform. Discourse allows you to create discussion topics and connect using real-time chat, as well as access an ever-growing number of official and community themes. In addition, we offer a wide variety of plugins for features ranging from chatbots powered by Discourse AI to functionalities like SQL analysis using the Data Explorer plugin.
To learn more, visit discourse.org and join our support community at meta.discourse.org.

Development
To get your environment set up, follow the community setup guide for your operating system.
- If you're on macOS, try the macOS development guide.
- If you're on Ubuntu, try the Ubuntu development guide.
- If you're on Windows, try the Windows 10 development guide.
- If you're looking to use a simpler Docker-based install, try the Docker development guide.
If you're familiar with how Rails works and are comfortable setting up your own environment, you can also try out the Discourse Advanced Developer Guide, which is aimed primarily at Ubuntu and macOS environments.
Before you get started, ensure you have the following minimum versions: Ruby 3.2+, PostgreSQL 13, Redis 7. If you're having trouble, please see our TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE first!
