Do you have a rumor or an exact prediction about thata. When will the official production guide will be accessible? In 1 month, a few months or a year...

I want to hear your predictions about that because I've been trying to install it on Production mode for 2 weeks but I couldn't be successful. I've tried Heroku, Docker-compose and manual installation. Each time there were different errors. I've tried a lot of solution methods but I've failed :(

Heyo! Casey from the Forem Community team just piggybacking off of Lee's comment, we're close. I don't have an exact date/time frame but we are indeed close :)

It is nice to knowing that.

But for some reason, Forem within Heroku is exceptionally good and at the same time costly! So I thought to work with dokku(as I consider it as a open source Heroku :p)

So, in later stages if someone want to host Forem in VPS, but like to have the architecture of Heroku, they can follow this guide. This is all after speculating that Forem in VPS will be installed through docker or through the way it is done in Gitpod.
