we accidentally did the upgrade just now, which is what you just experienced. anyways we're at like double the power and processing, and three times the storage we were previously at so yeah hopefully that'll be good. anyways i guess i'll leave this post stickied until i go to sleep in like an hour

apparently, and I know next to nothing about this, you can use an automated option via Ansible.

I also know pretty much nothing about ansible. And while that could be a learning opportunity in itself, I'd like to challenge myself to get it running through docker. It would be one of the more complex things I've set up.

Sounds pretty fun! I have a spare laptop running Linux Mint. I would like to try running my own instance and sharing it with a few users. Below are the specs. Do you think it will be powerful enough, and if so, how many users would it be able to handle?

Dell Inspiron 15-5000
CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U, 2 cores, 4 threads
RAM: 8GB
Storage: SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB

This is really just a guess, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run an instance with a handful of users on that machine. Just don't expect too much.
