when picking a host, make sure you can do a standard install . you will need an email account with a transactional service like mailgun or similar, as well as a domain name.

no worries, i wasn’t questioning your ability to do anything, just wondering why you were blocked from github.

yes because the code for our software is in a repository on github
For this actual topic, what I actually wanted was to see the icons (for badges) but my friend showed me somewhere else. https://meta.discourse.org/styleguide/atoms/icons
