# CentOS Forums

For legacy reasons, we host two different forums instances but still using the same tech stack/solution :

  * https://forums.centos.org (main one)

  * https://fr.centos.org/forums (dedicated one to french language)

The forum tech stack is just using [phpBB](https://www.phpbb.com/) with a MySQL DB 

Worth knowing that it's almost the default phpBB stack and no real plugin added, and also meaning that (legacy) using the internal users DB, and so no SSO.

The ansible role used to deploy the app is the [ansible-role-phpbb](https://github.com/centos/ansible-role-phpbb)

To update between major release, we have a specific `adhoc-update-phpbb.yml` that can be used to update to a version (test this first on a test instance first)
