Just getting around to trying this.

Does anyone have any guidance on the best way to maintain a staged copy of a production discourse forum?

I’m worried about running these kind of queries on production, even if I do have a fresh backup.

I was thinking about setting up an LXD container on my local machine and installing docker discourse there. What’s the best way of handling this?
