My only beef with discourse is that it's pretty complex to install for what ought to be a web-app backed by a database. Judging from the traces of information scattered around the Internet (the official docs seem very mum on the issue, or maybe my Googling skills are poor), it seems like it expects all web servers to have access to a shared NFS drive, but I can't quite tell.
I don't mind the UI. I have nostalgia for old school forums (I used to operate one back around 2008-2012), but I'm happy enough with discourse.

I'm sure manual installation steps on a single VM instance are easy enough, but I guess my standards are a bit higher: HA and reproducibility at a minimum. And maybe the volume(s) don't need to be shared across instances and I'm misreading--it's hard to tell.
