anonymous-discourse-post: verifiable anonymous post in Discourse (login not required)

Allow users to reply to a topic anonymously or create a new topic anonymously in Discourse, no login is required. This is the backend written in Rust using the Actix framework. For it to work, you also need to install the accompanying theme component: discourse-anonymous-post.

Features

  • verifiable anonymous post: users can capture XHR in their browser and find out that no extra information is passed to the server
  • No login required: you can share a link with friends, and they can reply without signup. Useful for question-and-answer use-cases.
  • Rate limited: to prevent spam, reply in rate limited to 3 times per 10 minutes and new topic is 1 times per 10 minutes by default. You can configure that in main.rs.

How to set it up on your Discourse instance

We hard-code lots of assets’ URLs since global CDN is slow for China, so you have to customize URLs containing xjtu.app.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/xjtumen/discourse-anonymous-post-external 
cd replytotopic
cargo build release
# create a new user called `anonymous_user`
# create an API key for it with sufficient permissions
# adapt replytotopic.service to your website, esp. DISCOURSE_API_KEY_ANONYMOUS, then:
cp replytotopic.service /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl enable --now replytotopic
# you need to configure a reverse proxy to http://127.0.0.1:7010

TODO

  • do not hard-code rate limits
  • add a handy configuration file
