Setting up a forum and really wanted to do a two container install, but am enough of a newbie that I found the discussion about editing the template files offputting.

Then stumbled across the “2container” commandline option for discourse-setup which made it a breeze.

I only found it because I happened to read the discourse-setup script.

Is is intentional that this option has not been added to the install instructions? (If it is there but I missed it, I apologize)

Thanks to the developers and the community for a great product.
