Context

The Peugeot 306 (1993–2002) still has a huge following twenty years after being discontinued. But its Spanish-speaking community lived fragmented across old forums, Facebook groups and scattered Telegram channels. There was a need for a single place gathering tutorials, official technical documentation and live conversation.

What I built

Club 306 started in 2005 as a phpBB forum and has grown into a full platform: 35+ step-by-step tutorials, digitized official technical documentation, photo gallery, video archive, an interactive map of meetups and events across Spain, and a modern phpBB forum integrated with the Next.js frontend design.

Technical details

Next.js 16 frontend with Tailwind serving home, tutorials, map and gallery.
phpBB forum on the same domain, integrated via path-routing on Nginx to preserve historical SEO.
Shared MySQL for forum and frontend data, orchestrated by Docker Compose.
Three environments (dev / pre / prod) with auto-SSL via Let's Encrypt and automated deploys.
Migrated from a legacy WordPress + phpBB stack, preserving URLs, content and permissions.

Status

Active at club306.netsince 2005, with nearly 4,000 members, 320,000 accumulated messages and a living community. No monetization: it's a labor of love for a car that deserves its corner of the web.
