Why Docker?

You write a wonderful article with excellent points (https://snikket.org/blog/products-vs-protocols/) and (I quote) "The goal is to reduce fragmentation in the XMPP ecosystem, and ensure that people have access to a familiar brand across all platforms.". Yet you are using Docker for your self-hosted setup without any documentation on how to not use Docker, which limits the platforms to just Linux. Any chance we can get instructions on how to deploy without Docker?

Well, at least it looks like you are using Ansible for provisioning the software stack.

Hi, thanks for the question. The question of why we use Docker is answered in the FAQ on the main site here: https://snikket.org/faq/#q-can-i-set-up-snikket-without-docker

Hope this helps!
