  • Definitely MyBB or XenForo. MyBB is open, so you’ll find that one most helpful. Building a simple forum software isn’t really difficult imo. PHP, MySQL, it’s pretty doable and I built one a while back (lost it) in a couple days.

    There’s always discourse (requires email server), NodeBB and Flarun. You can really customize all the themes for each software, so I wouldn’t worry too much about initial look.

    You could look at docusaurus for your docs or some good gatsby, vercel etc. templates

    I am currently looking for a similar solution, something a lot like stackoverflow, except an actual community that’s self hosted. I’m at the point where in contemplating whether or not I’m just going to build the software myself.
