Hi @freemo , a small question for when you have time: how did you find discourse so far, in terms of maintenace?
I managed a phpbb community, I'd just like something where I do not have to mess with the code, and I do not have to put the whole community in standby when there is an update as some plugin will likely break.
Is it giving you many headaches, so far?

@arteteco Its also resource hungry. I'm likely going to have to double the memory as it is running pretty slow with a memory bottleneck right now. Luckily i have plenty to spare.
@freemo thanks for your reply! I thought that docker install was the preferred way, do you mean that you had to hack the docker files?
How much memory are we using atm on qoto?
@arteteco There is an installer, it does use docker, and that is the "prefered" way.. but its not "standard" docker. There is no way you can bring the service up through say docker-compose.yml or a call to docker (or several calls).
There is an installer which you also have to rerun anythime you make any changes. IT ultimately kicks off docker.
Thing is because of the way they do it you literally loose all advantage to using docker in the first place (That being you can just spin up a container and it works).
Worse yet since you cant run a docker container inside a docker container the fact that they use bastardized-docker is exactly the reason why running a sane standardized docker container is extremely difficult.
My whole setup was little more than doing away with the baremetal aspect and making it into standard-docker and that meant completely rewriting the containerization.
As far as the docker perspective goes of discourse it is an absolute shit-show.
@freemo Sure, no problem, thanks a bunch for the help!
@arteteco Not sure off hand ill check when im by my computer
