I actually started on a VSCode Devcontainer based solution on my GitHub: https://github.com/willson556/phorge-devcontainer

It is working pretty well with notifications and repository hosting both configured out of the box. My only concern with the config at the moment is that it's very much setup for development -- we would want to clearly document that it is not to be used as a starting point for a production docker-compose setup!

Any feedback would be appreciated!

We should consider a Vagrantfile in place of docker containers. I think it will be more approachable to newcomers having a single VM with all the services/configurations setup compared to managing multiple containers.

Separately, developing on Windows has its own complications

I have some step by notes in our internal instance for getting SSH going - If you get stuck let me know and I will parse them into a public readable format

From IRC a while back, for reference:

In general, the Welcome message stuff (And most of the concerns I outlined in T15003#216) will be taken care of in a new root / webpage(s) that will live at phorge.it and/or www.phorge.it - See T15000#234 for some background discussion

Just to keep this here for posterity

my vote would be phorge.it - simpler, easier to market, easier to say and easier to link to. - You could auto-redirect various common www., secure. etc.

+1 for demo instance! - Phorge Playground or something like that

So - If I am a brand new user that comes across this main Phorge page
