Documentation Status License Latest Version Build status Codecov status



Django-machina is a forum framework for Django providing a way to build community-driven websites. It offers a full-featured yet very extensible forum solution:

  • Topic and post editing
  • Forums tree management
  • Per-forum permissions
  • Anonymous posting
  • Polls and attachments
  • Moderation and pre-moderation
  • Forum conversations search
  • ...

Django-machina was built with integration in mind: the application is designed to be used inside existing Django applications. It is not a standalone forum solution.

Django-machina was built with customization and extensibility in mind: each single functionality of the application can be customized or overriden to accommodate with your needs.

Online browsable documentation is available at https://django-machina.readthedocs.org.

Head over to the documentation for all the details on how to set up your forum and how to customize it to suit your needs.

Python 3.5+, Django 2.2+. Please refer to the requirements section of the documentation for a full list of dependencies.

A demo site can be tested at https://demo.machina-forum.io. It contains a standard installation of django-machina without any customizations.
