I was trying to set up my own 0.17.4 instance for a week. I have used docker professionally. 0.17.4 wasn’t trivial to set up. The instructions were full of errors and omissions. I basically had to rewrite the whole docker-compose.yml myself.
Of course, right when I was at the finish line, they released 0.18.0 and rewrote the instructions, and now it gets you 90% of the way right out of the box. There was still one omission to pull an nginx config file, and then you need to get your own certificate and add it to that config file (or use a reverse proxy, but I have no need for that at the moment).
At least it’s much easier than it was 3 days ago.
If I didn’t already have a bunch of shit running in containers that I don’t want to risk messing up, I would have looked into using their Ansible instructions. But I really don’t like running scripts on my server (especially as root!) unless I know everything that it’s doing.
