Can Discourse ship frequent Docker images that do not need to be bootstrapped?

How does any of this address:

2. Moving us to a multi image install by default, its super nice not to need to stop a site during bootstrap, only way of achieving this is with a multi image install. However, I do not want users having to muck around with multiple config files, so we need to think of a format that would enable this simply.

I proposed a solution over here. (Just make discourse-setup or discourse-multi-setup do that.).

4. cd /var/discourse && ./launcher rebuild app is a scourge for our free installers hate. We want a web UI for that.

It’s not what you’re talking about, but I’m getting close to having a Discourse installer web app that, given Digital Ocean and Mailgun API keys, configures everything, installs Discourse, and tells you what DNS records to set. Once it’s deployed, I’ll start adding features like rebuilds, plugin management, and so on.
