Reorganizing ISPConfig and HowtoForge

I remember my first impression, when i encountered the ISPConfig admin. panel: "Oh, this is so cool... I want it." But how do i use it?

This way, the name of website howtoforge looks bit weird, not related to the ISPConfig.

I saw that there was paid documentation, but then i started looking to see if it was available for free. I found an option and used it...
As i grew more and more fond of this system, i only later purchased the paid PDF book as a tribute to the creators.
And only later, when i was working with the guys on selecting an additional security solution to limit resource usage, did i start purchasing ISPProtect.

Therefore, i don't think the paid version with "high-quality instructions" will take any other path.
I believe that the same format of paid documentation should be kept, since the forum has long been full of information on how and what to configure.
Additionally, in a few days, I'll prepare instructions on how to implement Nginx reverse proxy for Apache, bundled to ISPConfig.

And there's always the option of someone posting their purchased PDF for free (again).
This is where it might be interesting to ask the GPT, so that after providing all the data, it can get ideas on how to make this profitable.

 

- the current forum is clear and readable (for someone that used phpBB many-many years), imo (probably not popular opinion Discourse is not as much readable), so maybe go with theme update (I like this one too probably lurked to much)
- new address yes, great idea - i remember figuring out if howtoforge does unofficial forum for ispconfig, or is part of it or is better SEO about it) new URL is great idea
- fair move
- moving to github could spark more support from 3rd parties. It was always a shame that so great software were many time overlooked because of more "hermetic" community (forum + gitlab). I'm looking forward this change and I'm hopping that it sparks with many many good quality PR to make ispconfig even better and maybe even more integrations
