How long does it take to compile a fork of the discourse docker image?

Since non-docker installs are not supported and apparently difficult to install, Iā€™m wondering how long does it take to compile a fork of your docker image? Is it possible to re-use the discourse/base build and to swap in discourse/discourse? I ask because I might want to experiment with making changes to a future instance of discourse.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

That depends on how fast your computer is. :wink:

We build the discourse/base image on an Optimized Droplet (8 GB, 4 vCPUs) at DigitalOcean and it takes about 40 minutes.
