Continuing the discussion from [Easy install needed for Discourse to become the forum solution "for the next decade"](https://meta.discourse.org/t/easy-install-needed-for-discourse-to-become-the-forum-solution-for-the-next-decade/13988/29):

I don’t know what channels to go through to make that happen, but considering there’s yet to be a forum listed there, I think it’s in Discourse’s best interest to get on that list asap.

A “native” one-click app on DigitalOcean seems less likely now that they’ve teamed up with Bitnami to get wider app support “for free”. But that’s ultimately good news I guess!

One thing is confusing to me at this point though:

> DigitalOcean users get two free months of Bitnami access.

Uh, I don’t really understand what “Bitnami access” constitutes. Once I’ve done the install, I don’t really need Bitnami for anything more, right? _right?_

I’m also glad to see that they’re on the Stable branch, which means more pressure on the Discourse devs to figure out good [compatibility checks](https://meta.discourse.org/t/compatibility-checks-and-stable-versioning-for-plugins/31523) 😉
