Hello! I wanna host a little forum for my small site. Do anyone know a
easy-install selfhosted forum?

I will always recommend Discourse (even for personal note instances,
do it!). Installation can be easy if you have some knowledge (u're on
r/selfhosted so, I'm gonna assume you have) - but the codebase is Ruby
on Rails mostly.


There are some alternatives: Flarum, that's just php or Forem, might
be worth to look at - but the latter most complex in terms of install
and might not be a traditional forum depending on the functionality
you need.

You can simply look at the subreddit sidebar, find the [awesome
selfhosted list](https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted) and
look through that, and you will find a lot of forum software to
selfhost.

Lots of forums: Discourse (as suggested) and the venerable phpbb and
vBulletins of this world. But, alas, most forum UIs aren't very
customizable.
