How can I make some customizations with the discourse source code when set up with official docker install guides

If I set up a discourse forum for production with the official docker install guides. How can I make some customizations with the discourse source code? Make private docker images to replace the official one or something others?

Use Plugins and Theme Components.

You don’t want to be managing a fork.

Well, it seems no other good way. Thanks to Robert.

You can do it, but it’s very messy and you are best to go with a system that allows you to update from core with very little work (just hit “upgrade”).

sometimes your plugin might break the build, but that’s a lot easier to fix :+1:
