Same (as well as no information on the module page). I downloaded and extracted the README, and it says that this module will allow everything I want (language links in their native language and hidden if not translated) but how do I configure it?

CONFIGURATION
-------------
This module contains 4 configuration options:

## Display
Select how you want to display your language.
1. Using the language id, ie. nl / en / ....
2. Regular, translated language name ie English, Dutch, French, ...
3. Native language which uses the language name in their
native language ie English, Nederlands, Francais, ...

## Structure
Structure determines how we display the languages structure.
1. In a simple list
2. In a dropdown with the active language in the dropdown list
3. In a dropdown without the active language in the dropdown list.

## Hidden languages
We can hide languages from being displayed in the language switcher. Maybe you
haven't fully translated a certain language yet and want to soft-hide it for
your users. A permission is used to enable it for different roles.

## No translation
Select what we want to do when a entity has no translation, disable the link,
redirect to the homepage or do nothing.

Ressa, are you doing the same testing and writing more documentation about using Cloudways? I don't want to duplicate the effort if so.
I am not connected to Cloudways, I just use it for some of my hosting needs so it's the most likely place I'll want to use in future.

Thanks for the clarification Chris. I will try to get it working tomorrow.

Cloudways is a managed hosting provider with an easy to use interface for various cloud services. They are owned by DigitalOcean, but also provide servers at Vultr, Linode, AWS and Google Cloud. Each server is billed for usage after a three-day free trial period.

Drupal install notes
Login to your Cloudways account and select an Application of type PHP Custom.
Enable SSH on the server or application and login using a terminal
Make your way to the application public_html and paste in
composer create-project drupal/recommended-project starshot

Go through Drupal install
In the Cloudways Application settings, change the web root to /starshot/web/
Browse to your new site and complete the Drupal install
Copy and paste the database credentials from Cloudways
Enter your site name and admin credentials

Enable and test Project Browser
In SSH terminal
composer require 'drupal/project_browser:^1.0@beta'
In your browser, navigate to Extend, and tick Project Browser and Project Browser Source Example and click Install
Return to Extend and select the Browse tab
Select Drupal.org (mocked) and use Search for modules to find a specific module (Pathauto) and click on Install.
The module is added, and the interface displays the list at the Pathauto entry
Click to enable
Filter by Category to find other modules needed (Webform) and click on View Commands to copy the composer string required to install by SSH.

Note any extra steps to make it work

Note any problems
I was unable to configure "Allow installing via UI (experimental)" due to it's requirement for Automatic_updates. When I attempted to install that module I got:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - drupal/automatic_updates[3.1.0, ..., 3.1.2] require php-tuf/composer-stager ^2-rc2 -> found php-tuf/composer-stager[dev-develop, v2.0.0-rc2, v2.0.0-rc3, 2.x-dev (alias of dev-develop)] but it does not match your minimum-stability.
    - Root composer.json requires drupal/automatic_updates ^3.1 -> satisfiable by drupal/automatic_updates[3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2].
    Make follow up issues as needed

The Forum module is still in Drupal 10 core (as of today on my own site, I just looked). It will be removed in Drupal 11  https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3274153 🌱 [11.x] [Meta] Tasks to remove Forum from core and move to contrib Postponed . Looking at the issue queue for Advanced Forum, it seems like a few people really wanted it to be maintained, but were not willing or able to either take over that maintenance or pay developers to carry on.

So yes, you can build a forum on Drupal 10, but it seems like most people have abandoned the effort (perhaps moved to something more like Slack or Mattermost or other external messaging platforms).

Rather than Drupal 7, perhaps you should consider Backdrop if you don't want to carry on with Drupal 10. Drupal 7's EOL has been extended several times, but January 2025 is the really real end of life, so there is no point building anything new with it.
