Error message

Discourse RSS is disabled due to the lack of <a href="https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/">relevant config</a>

What it means

The Discourse route utilities function getConfig looks up a named Discourse instance configuration by configId from config.discourse.config. Discourse is self-hosted forum software, so each instance needs its own URL and optionally API key. If the configId provided in the route path has no corresponding entry in the configuration, a ConfigNotFoundError is thrown.

Solutions

1. Configure the Discourse instance in RSSHub's config by setting the appropriate environment variables (see https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/).
2. Ensure the configId in the route URL matches the key in config.discourse.config exactly.
3. List configured Discourse instances by checking your environment variables or config file.
4. If self-hosting, add a new DISCOURSE_CONFIG entry for the forum you want to follow.

const discourseConfig = config.discourse?.config?.[ctx.req.param('configId')];
if (!discourseConfig) {
    const configured = Object.keys(config.discourse?.config || {});
    throw new ConfigNotFoundError(`Discourse config '${ctx.req.param('configId')}' not found. Configured instances: ${configured.join(', ') || 'none'}`);
}

function hasDiscourseConfig(cfg: any, configId: string): boolean {
    return cfg?.discourse?.config?.[configId] != null;
}

When it happens

Trigger: ctx.req.param('configId') returns a key that does not exist in config.discourse.config. The config.discourse.config object is populated from environment variables (DISCOURSE_CONFIG_* or a JSON config), and if the requested configId has no matching entry, the lookup fails.

Common situations: The user provides a configId that was never configured (e.g., /discourse/myforum/... when only 'example' is configured); the environment variable naming doesn't match the expected pattern; the configId has a typo; the deployment hasn't set up any Discourse configurations.
