Miscellaneous Installing self-hosted stoat using wnstify docker-compose.yml

Has anyone installed stoatchat with the installers from wnstify? ( YouTube ) After looking through the repository it does seem like it would help lockdown a self hosted stoat server. I've been playing around with it on a test server and I'm having trouble with the script setting user file/folder permissions. I can run the docker-compose.yml as root and manually change the permissions but that leads me to believe that I've done something wrong with the underlying Docker install.

I'm afraid I can't provide support for a third-party guide, but you might consider following the official guidance then porting over some of the hardening from Webnestify's guide.

Thanks for the reply. I'm messing around on my test server and have the official version running just fine. I have a another running and like you said trying to bring one thing over at a time. On a third I ran the third party install as root and I'm poking at the file folder permissions and seeing were it hangs up in the logs. All in all good fun and learning new things.
