Hi Discourse team, We’re currently evaluating the Docker image available here: discourse/discourse - Docker Image This image was published very recently (less than 24h ago at the time of writing), and I couldn’t find references to it in the official documentation. My question is: Is this Docker…

I believe the Docker image is discourse/base - Docker Image . (5M+ downloads vs 800+) See: https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker The Docker repository will always contain the latest built version at: discourse/base - Docker Image , you should not need to build the base image.

Thanks for your reply, I know that. But I couldn’t get that discourse/base image to run easily with Docker Compose. This new discourse/discourse image makes setup much simpler and just works fine, but I want to understand its purpose and whether I can use it in production.

Take a read of: [afbeelding] Can Discourse ship frequent Docker images that do not need to be bootstrapped? Development There is this open issue (which I just closed) on Discourse Docker repo asking Discourse should behave like a standard docker image …

I don’t have any timeline/guarantees right now. But hopefully we’ll have more info to share in the next few weeks. [afbeelding] JulianC: Is the discourse/discourse Docker image open source, and if so, could you provide the GitHub repository link? Yes it’s all open source. It’s built & publis…

Thanks for the info and for sharing the GitHub link, much appreciated!

Yeah, it’s becoming an open secret of what’s in the oven :slight_smile: You can get a technical preview of what’s upcoming, but like David said we can’t support it officially yet. There are tons of docs to plan, edge cases to test, etc… so we can’t recommend it for production until we smooth those …

@david / @featheredtoast , you guys and the rest of the team have done a great job here. I just switched to discourse/discourse from bitnami/discourse for automated testing and it’s working great. Obviously my use case is perfect - spin up a new forum, run tests, delete. So, just wanted to give a …
