More precise installation instruction

[frenkel]

The steps you need are more like the basic steps to install any Rails app. It's almost impossible for us to cover all possible distributions and their required dependencies.

For your current problem: You're missing libmysqlclient-dev for the mysql2 gem.

OK. Thanks. Giving instructions on latest LTS for Ubuntu/Debian and Redhat/CentOS doesn't look too hard but that's where docker comes in. Deploy and run, can't be easier when I used to install Discourse (another rails app.)

[frenkel]

Yes, except we aren't running either of them. If you can create a MR for these instructions and keep them up-to-date I'm happy to merge them.

This discussion has been brought up more than once, but everybody prefers different things:

• run a real webserver in the container or just unicorn and let user place a webserver in front of it?
• run the database in the container or let is use an external database (you don't want database servers in container)?
• file uploads in the container or place them in an external service like S3?
