I think @oli might be a good person to weigh in here, and I'm pretty sure @noeltim is using DO for selfhost as well.

I also welcome comments from @andygeorge and @andy as people who are familiar with the server- and console-side of Forem-hosted communities.

Hey @tbonesteaks , i have only a high level understanding of the techstack, of course if you are familiar with ansible, this should be a breeze.

Thanks for your take on this, @noeltim πŸ™ I remembered you'd experimented with the installation a bit but didn't want to speak on your behalf!

Hey @tbonesteaks, you have nothing to worry about because Forem is well documented. We've been hosting on DO for a few months and have yet to experience a significant issue.

Thank you for the response @oli ! That's great to hear. It is very well documented. I think I will just have to go for it and setup my site and see how it goes.
