About

The official NodeBB image from ghcr.io, pinned: no build from source and no Redis, because Postgres carries the sessions too.
Posts, topics, users and sessions live in a managed Postgres on its own private VM; uploads on a volume beside the app.
A one-shot setup container creates the config and the administrator and exits before the forum is allowed to start, so the web installer never faces the public.
GPL-3.0 and not the Affero variant, so running it for your own community carries no source-offer obligation.
