Hi there,

i’m new here and i’d like to run a high availability environment on Digital Ocean to Discourse. I’m thinking about a Load Balancer upfront with 2 instances running Discourse with docker images behind, probably using a hosted PostgreSQL and a hosted mail provider. How can i generate a configured image of the web only Discourse hosted on docker hub for my instances?

Thanks in advance.

I think you need to read this: [Can Discourse ship frequent Docker images that do not need to be bootstrapped?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-discourse-ship-frequent-docker-images-that-do-not-need-to-be-bootstrapped/33205)
