I just tried the new [official install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) method on hetzner and loved the streamlined experience, and adorable ascii art in the setup script. The only oddity was that I got an error on the confirmation page. I ignored it because I was restoring another site and was in a hurry to get the site up again. If I encounter this again I will check the log and share anything I see there.
