Or, those who don’t know if/how to setup a swap image. That’s me.. that’s literally what I want to use the setup wizard for (unless there’s other goodness which Discourse knows, that I don’t, in which case I’d like the benefit of the wizard.

Also, later on when I’m submitting bugs, it’s FAR easier to say “I followed the guide” vs guessing where I might have taken unknown paths.

Sounds good, but that still leaves me entering known-bad data in the face of this DIRE WARNING

It’d be cleaner to have a way to set no password, if none is required. Maybe that would show as an option if the port was set to 25?
