It almost feels like Mastodon do not want us to self host. There is no direct link on the main webpage to install on server. Digging through the docs, finally found documentation and there is no Docker container or a package for any OS for easy installation. They require us to install from source along with all the dependencies. I don't mean to bad mouth it but they do not do enough to encourage self hosting (if not discourage).
Would like to know your opinions or ideas on how to self host it easily with minimum maintenance (auto upgrades, etc).

@[email protected] having Docker support doesn't mean it's "user friendly" in my opinion. I know a lot of devs are whole hog on board the Docker train but I'm old school and prefer to know how to install my software straight on the server.
But I think I'm very firmly against the grain here.
