Hi there, did you know you could do a one-line install?

> ## Quick Start
> 
> Run this single command on a fresh Ubuntu/Debian server:
> 
> ```plaintext
> wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/discourse/discourse_docker/main/install-discourse | sudo bash
> 
> ```
> 
> That’s it! The installer will:
> 
> - Install Docker and git automatically (if not present)
> - Download the Discourse Docker configuration
> - Launch an interactive setup wizard
> 
> > **Don’t have a domain name?** No problem! The installer offers free subdomains like `yoursite.discourse.diy` — no purchase required.
> > 
> > **Don’t want to set up email?** Skip SMTP and users can log in via Discourse ID with social logins (Google, Facebook, Apple, GitHub).
