@stefano wow not many Docker fans in this thread

I like deploying with Docker because...

1. `docker-compose.yaml` is easier syntax than systemd units, and it sandboxes more by default
2. Updates are right there in the same file, and easier to roll back than apt or manual process
3. I can run two instances with separate configs and same or different versions real easy if I need

It is usually 1 or 2 steps to set up versus idk how many for manual processes

@stefano Yeah. If the only installation instructions are Docker, I just close the window and go looking for an alternative. Ditto any of the various python kludges to manage dependencies. I can generally get those to work once, but when I come back later to update, something will invariably break.

The install for fossil is dreamy: “copy the appropriate binary to somewhere in your path. Done.”

Perfect. More like this, please!

@stefano
Same here!
Always great when there is a option that does not involve docker.

@stefano I can’t stress enough how much I support this, especially the last part.
