Hello,
I'm the maintainer of eveBB (evebb dot net), and I'd like to request its
inclusion in the Softaculous catalogue.
The short version: Softaculous has carried FluxBB for many years, but
FluxBB has been abandoned upstream since 2021. eveBB is its direct,
actively maintained continuation - fully schema-compatible with FluxBB
1.5 (an existing FluxBB board switches to eveBB in place) - modernised
for today's hosting:
- PHP 8.1-8.4
- MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQLite (single file, no DB server)
- bcrypt passwords (transparent migration of legacy hashes), hardened
CSRF protection, login throttling
- visual editor writing standard BBCode, responsive default style
- built-in one-click updater: releases are GPG-signed and SHA-256
verified before a single file is installed
- plugin system (polls, tags, badges, 2FA, social sign-in, backups and
more - each a single zip upload in the admin panel)
- free and open source, GPL v2 or later
- classic upload-and-go install: the web installer takes about two
minutes, so it fits Softaculous's copy-mode packaging today
Version 2.0.1 stable is current. Source is on GitHub under evebb/EveBB,
and the live community board (running eveBB itself) is at evebb dot net.
To make this easy, I've prepared a draft Softaculous package (info.xml,
install.xml in copy mode, and a script that assembles the payload from
our checksummed release) and I'm happy to adjust it to your requirements,
test against a dev install, or hand the packaging over to your team -
whichever you prefer. I maintain the project actively and will keep the
package current with releases.
Thanks for considering it,
Alan
eveBB maintainer
