I really like the idea of having images for popular hosting providers like Digital Ocean and Rackspace; this should lower the entry level difficulty tremendously. I wish Discourse would do something similar, as I believe it would spread the adoption very quickly.


You can use the BitNami installers to install them anywhere, including the hosting providers you mention. BitNami also supports Discourse


Wow I didn't know that, thank you!


> Digital Ocean are one of the most popular VPS hosts in the world

Where is the proof of this? Any hard data on customer account numbers or growth?

There are lots of solid VPS providers out there. I don't see why Digital Ocean gets so much hype.


Currently, they are 21st in the world for web facing computers[1]. The growth has been pretty good, too.
