Ready to try installation: use "normal" install or docker.
The mm3 installation instructions have been somewhat fluid over the development period, butI'm finally ready to dig in and give it a shot and need some last-minute advice.
I'm leaning toward installing using the docker method but I would appreciate any recent thoughts about which method to choose.
Thanks so much to the MM3 dev team!

It really depends on what way you want to go, container images will be much less hassle to use right now, mostly because all the dependencies are bundled in and the moving parts are already configured to work with each other.
Also, the upgrade process for container images is pretty easy and you can even setup auto-upgrades if you want using some pretty-easy-to-use tools. I do that to test each commit that goes in the Github Repo for container images.
Installing from sources isn't that bad right now, but you would need some knowledge of Django and Python based ecosystem for web applications. The documentation has most of them with pointers to other things you might need to know in order to run, if you feel it is inadequate, I would encourage you to open bug reports.
Thanks so much to the MM3 dev team!

Abhilash, thanks for the response.
My goal is to use the installation in production immediately (production meaning using some interested friends as testers before opening lists to "real" subscribers).
If I understand properly, the docker way will be a good path to do that and it should make my volunteer maintenance life easier in the future, too.
Does that sound reasonable?

While other non-developers would be able to tell you more about how easy it is to administer these container images, I think I have made them easy easy as possible to deploy without having to worry about inner workings. Unless ofcourse you want something more customized, it should work Ok for you. I am planning to release some new bugfixes and enhancements very soon, maybe today or tomorrow depending on when can I get some time. That release should be a significant improvement over the current one with ease-to-use factor.
thanks, Abhilash Raj
