`discourse/discourse` is new, but still experimental, so I wouldn’t recommend using it in production. We’ll certainly publish more info if/when that changes, and it’s ready for use.

As of right now, the only method we can support is the [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true).
