Carsten, I have expressed interest to help as an admin, but given the complex undocumented nature of the current setup and beber needing me to have a pgp which I only just got in all honesty Im scared to touch the server. Like others have said we need to simplify things and get rid of all this unnecessary complexity. Staying with VM's wont hurt anything. For all we know even if we go to docker containers we could still end up with the same instabilities like we are seeing with the current setup.
