Discourse
A Discourse plugin to enable Sign-In with Ethereum as an authentication method.
Overview
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform used for most crypto governances and projects to discuss proposals, updates, and research. The following is a quick guide on how to add Sign-In with Ethereum to your existing Discourse.
Requirements
Note
This guide is currently compatible with Discourse's official distribution. The discussion about the issues with other builds can be followed here.
The Sign-In with Ethereum plugin still requires users to enter an email to associate with their accounts after authenticating for the first time. If the user owns an ENS address, it will be the default selected username. Once an email address is associated, users can then sign in using the SIWE option at any time.
- Access your container’s
app.ymlfile (present in/var/discourse/containers/)
cd /var/discourse
nano containers/app.yml
- Add the plugin’s repository URL to your container’s
app.ymlfile:
app.yml
hooks:
before_code: # <-- added
- exec: # <-- added
cmd: # <-- added
- gem install rubyzip # <-- added
after_code:
- exec:
cd: $home/plugins
cmd:
- sudo -E -u discourse git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
- sudo -E -u discourse git clone https://github.com/spruceid/discourse-siwe-auth.git # <-- added
- Follow the existing format of the
docker_manager.gitline; if it does not containsudo -E -u discoursethen insert- git clone https://github.com/spruceid/discourse-siwe-auth.git. - Rebuild the container:
cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app
To disable it either remove the plugin or uncheck
discourse siwe enabled at (Admin Settings -> Plugins -> discourse-siwe -> discourse siwe enabled ). 
Accessing plugin settings.
Enable plugin at settings.
This plugin uses the newest Web3Modal v2, in order to use it you need to create a free project id at https://cloud.walletconnect.com/sign-in and configure it in the plugin.
By default, a statement is added to the messages: Sign-in to Discourse via Ethereum. To edit this statement access the settings (same as before) and update it.
