Yep! The idea is we want to make Forem run on FOSS as a first class experience and allow for external third party services if needed. Fastly and Cloudinary are fantastic services but not every Forem needs them. Also, not every Forem operator can afford them.
I am an Engineering Physics graduate from IIT Guwahati, but merely not restricted to Physics itself. In the past few years, I involved in many Cybersecurity blogging and now on Open-source.
Holy smokes! I was wondering how this would all play out, so for Forem's like mine, no need for Fastly, Cloudinary plus other external services?

Ooo great so we will be getting documentation on how to spin this up or is it for Forem Cloud?
When it is ready we will open source the FSS and have all the documentation to go with it.
I will be waiting for that day and the sooner the lighter I become 😅
