I'm sorry, but as a sysadmin, especially with experience un-dockerizing Discourse, I just can't take that at face value. Discourse, though a pain to update, is not really that hard to host. Maybe an hour of effort a week, max, if you're doing it entirely manually. Sure, complexity increases when you add plugins, but not significantly. I just hope we're not paying for that thing, though we probably are. -- John M. Harris, Jr. <johnmh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Splentity https://splentity.com/
