Hi everyone, I was thinking about self-hosting a Discourse forum, and I wanted to know 2 things: Where should I host the forum on? Docker, or my Raspberry Pi? How would I deploy it if it’s on my Pi/Docker? I’m still unsure about the options; personally, I’m fine with either for 1, but for 2, that…

Which is the better option to self-host?

Righto. I’ll (finally) do it today.
