@julian Thanks. Can we use process.env for all the plugins, or it is plugin specific thing?

Does Nodebb have auto-save feature? (Or any plugin can do the job?)

It's like the Gmail or Quora, when you edit your post, the system automatically save the draft every few seconds.

@pitaj Yes. For example, we need to set API keys or other configurations for some plugin, and those data are saved the same way as forum posts in MongoDB. Would it be nice to separate "system settings" from real user generated data?

Hi,

We are working on deploying nodebb with Docker image and One of the biggest issue we found in we found is the mix of system config data and user data.

System config data include system settings, activated plugin info, plugin settings and etc.
User data include all the posts.

To build a ready to deploy docker image, you want install all the necessary plugins and add their config data. This is really hard if the system data is mixed with user posts.

Do we have a plan to separate these two kind of data?
