For a quick development experience we recommend [Install Discourse for development using Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009).

That one is used by some team members, so we are responsible for keeping it working and in good shape for years to come.

Only difference is that instead of `docker-compose up` you will be running `./bin/docker/unicorn`
