If you would like to launch Discourse without using the officially supported ./launcher tool and instead use pre-built images to manage with docker-compose or Kubernetes we may soon have a solution for you.
This is currently a work in progress, but if you have a budget, please email jay@literatecomputing.com describing your project.
Soon we plan to make available images on docker hub with an example docker-compose file.
If you are using these images, no support will be available at meta.discourse.org, so please do not ask there.
