Hosting a community (discussion forum) for docker-scripts

On another topic I have posted some instructions about upgrading a nextcloud installation to use the new version of docker-scripts.
It is actually copied from this post:
https://talk.fs.al/-23/how-to-upgrade-nextcloud-to-the-new-scripts

In general, I realize that it is useful to have a community (or discussion forum) for the users of docker-scripts, in order to post any news, to answer any questions, to report any bugs or issues, etc. Several times in the past I have introduced some breaking modifications to the scripts, without proper notifications to the users, and without clear instruction on how to upgrade. This is not good and may create any difficulties for the users, which have to find out themselves how to do it. Such a community may help to avoid or minimize such problems.

For the time being I have created this forum: https://talk.fs.al/latest/docker-scripts, which is based on TalkYard. However I am not quite happy with it. TY is great for embedded comments, but it is not the best one as a forum (in my opinion). For example Discourse is much better as a discussion forum.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Another option is to use my own Discourse forum at https://fol.fs.al, but this mainly an Albanian forum, and mainly non-technical, so docker-scripts discussions don’t fit very well on it.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Another option is to install another Discourse instance (on my server) just for docker-scripts discussions, but this seems like an overkill right now, since there are not so many users of docker-scripts and not enough discussions (yet).

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Yet another option might be to create a public group and public category for docker-scripts on the LUGBZ discourse (this instance).

How is docker-scripts related to LUGBZ?
Well, for those who don’t already know, the applications that are installed on the LUGBZ server (Postfix, WordPress, NextCloud, Discourse, Mastodon, etc.) are based on docker-scripts. So LUGBZ is one of the users of docker-scripts (besides me, because I am using them on my own server).
[I am not sure if everyone is happy and satisfied with this, but this is how it is up to now (as far as I know).]
So, maybe it makes sense to host the docker-scripts community on this forum, as a separate discussion category. Later, if we decide for some reason to move it somewhere else, it is easy to export all the topics and discussions of a certain category, and to import them to another Discourse instance.

So, I have this request (that should be discussed and decided by the board, or the members, or whatever is appropriate according to the status of LUGBZ):

Can we create a separate group and discussion category for docker-scripts, where I am one of the moderators?

thankyou dashamir !

my biggest motivation to be active within LUGBZ is: promoting KNOWLEDGE-SHARING for a common understanding between good-will-people.

(i.m.h.o.): your proposal fits perfectly into this perspective !

grazie dashamir!

la mia più grande motivazione per attivarmi nel LUGBZ e’ la voglia di promuovere la CONDIVISIONE DELLA CONOSCENZA per favorire la collaborazione tra persone di buona volontà.

(i.m.h.o.): la tua proposta si inserisce perfettamente in questa prospettiva!
