Hello. I saw that on this Forem the uploaded images are converted to webp. How did you do it?

You need to modify imgproxy.env file in the envs folder.

All you need to do is pasting the following line at the end of the file.

IMGPROXY_ENFORCE_WEBP=true

Then, restart Imgproxy by running the code below,

sudo systemctl restart forem-imgproxy.service

and Rails.

sudo systemctl restart forem-rails.service

Thank you for all your efforts to develop this open-source community base, I mean Forem.

Before you published it, I had just started to develop a similar project with Laravel to meet my needs. Then, it was published and made me save a lot of time.

I don't have much time for a while because of my projects, so I am just trying to answer others' questions as much as possible.

Final note: I had answered your post in DOZ AI. Because I have not set SMTP settings, you won't be able to receive any e-mail notification.

I think you should prioritize getting everything set up and configured (that is the biggest pain and pitfall that we need to make easier on Forem)

So that is to say, full SMTP stuff, and comb through config and make sure everything is set, including marking enough tags as supported, and then selecting the right ones for onboarding in config.

Good luck! I'm going to ask questions about the nature of the community itself over on the site.
