How to Install a Discourse Plugin for Events

1. Create a new discourse installation for testing

Initialize a new discourse site:

ds init discourse @forum1.flossk.org
cd /var/ds/forum1.flossk.org/

Copy settings.sh from the original site, but change DOMAIN to the new one (forum1.flossk.org):
```
cp ../forum.flossk.org/settings.sh .
vim settings.sh
```
Make the container:
```
cd /var/ds/forum1.flossk.org
ds make
```
(It may take a few minutes.)

2. Take a backup from the original site and restore it on the test site

cd /var/ds/forum.flossk.org/
ds backup
ls backup/

mkdir -p ../forum1.flossk.org/backup/
cp backup/flossk-2020-07-10-171654-v20200710013237.tar.gz \
   ../forum1.flossk.org/backup/
cd ../forum1.flossk.org/
ds restore backup/flossk-2020-07-10-171654-v20200710013237.tar.gz

Note: For some reason it does not work for the first time. Try it a second time:

ds restore backup/flossk-2020-07-10-171654-v20200710013237.tar.gz

Now we can open the test site https://forum1.flossk.org and login as admin.

3. Install the plugin on the test site

Instructions on: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-event/149964

Add git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-calendar.git on the hooks section:

cd /var/ds/forum1.flossk.org/
cd discourse_docker/
ls containers/
vim containers/forum.flossk.org.yml

It should look like this:

## Plugins go here
## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/19157 for details
hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-calendar.git

Rebuild the discourse container:

cd /var/ds/forum1.flossk.org/
cd discourse_docker/
ls containers/
./launcher rebuild forum1.flossk.org

Login as admin and enable the settings calendar_enabled and discourse_post_event_enabled.
Try to post a new topic, then click on the gear icon and create an event

4. Clean up the test site

After testing is done, clean up the test site:

cd /var/ds/forum1.flossk.org/
ds remove
cd ..
rm -rf forum1.flossk.org/

5. Install the plugin on the real site

Follow the steps on the section above, as described on: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-event/149964
