It’s not an install method. When you use a container, you don’t really install it, you are just bloating your operating system with the bleeding-edge of virtualization and encouraging the laziness of some software developers that prefer their own environment to the environment of their potential users.

So, yes it’s a bug, and yes, it’s your choice to support only an Ubuntu-based Docker image that runs Discourse.
