| description | Ask questions, propose features, and participate in longer-form community conversations about Fleetbase on GitHub Discussions. |
GitHub Discussions is the home for longer-form community conversations about Fleetbase — feature proposals, architecture questions, integration ideas, and anything that benefits from a permanent, searchable record rather than a real-time chat message.
| Use | Best place |
|---|---|
| Bug report with a clear reproduction | GitHub Issues |
| Question about installation or API usage (quick answer) | Discord #help |
| Feature proposal or architectural question | GitHub Discussions |
| Sharing something you built | Discord #showcase |
| Anything that should be searchable and permanent | GitHub Discussions |
GitHub Discussions are organised into categories. Choose the right one when opening a thread:
| Category | When to use |
|---|---|
| Q&A | Questions where you're looking for a specific answer — others can mark replies as answered |
| Ideas | Feature proposals and improvement suggestions — good for community voting and early feedback |
| Show and Tell | Share extensions, integrations, or projects you've built on top of Fleetbase |
| General | Anything that doesn't fit the other categories |
| Announcements | Core team announcements — read-only for community members |
Also check:
- FAQ for common questions
- The relevant docs section for configuration and feature details
- GitHub Issues for known bugs
For Q&A:
- State what you're trying to achieve, not just what's failing
- Include your deployment setup (Docker version, environment)
- Paste relevant config or code snippets using fenced code blocks
For feature proposals (Ideas):
- Describe the problem you're solving — not just the feature you want
- Explain how you currently work around it
- Share rough ideas on implementation if you have them — maintainers are more likely to engage if you've thought it through
For Show and Tell:
- Briefly explain what you built and what problem it solves
- Link to your repository or a demo if available
Each major Fleetbase repository has its own Discussions page for topics specific to that component:
