Just wanted to say huge thanks to the team for doing this. I love the thoughtfulness of Discourse’s design features and I’ve been wanting to self host for years but it was a little too complex to tackle even with experience installing other stuff. And thanks @Canapin for posting the screenshots of the install process, that was extremely helpful.
