I would to know if there was a `docker-compose.yml`floating around somewhere for hosting. I use Portainer to manage all of my services, and being able to add Discourse to that as well would be awesome. As it stands now, I would need to install the discourse server to my host, and let it set up the container itself.  
This has been proposed in the past [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-with-docker-compose/27386) and [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/community-supported-official-docker-image/83768/7), but I have not seen any work on it in the last 7ish years. Additionally, I found the following links, but both have the same issue of no work on them.

If anyone has resources available for this, it would be great, or at least somewhere to point me for this!

Hey there, sorry for the late reply. This is something we’re still planning, but is not officially supported™ yet.

In the meantime, it is on my personal repo - this template is currently maintained by me and is not an officially adopted template that the wider team is able to support:

All disclaimers aside, I do run all my personal sites using this, and it’s been pretty smooth so far 🙂
