Hello everyone! Thanks a lot for your input. Any chance I could use something like overlayfs / zfs like the author claims? https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-there-any-way-to-install-discourse-without-docker/16977 Do sign up and give your feedback. There used to be a FreeBSD thread @ meta.discourse.org but it just got deleted. Many thanks! O.D.
