First time setup: Monica or Chandler?

[slifty]

I finally got MonicaHQ set up on my home server!... and then see that Chandler is the future.

Does anybody have advice on whether it would make more sense for me to just set up Chandler (since I have no data) or should I stick with Monica and wait for the formal collective migration to the new tool.

I would suggest that you use Chandler instead. No work will be done on Monica from now on.

Thank you! Now I'm off to figure out the best way to do that installation.

My setup is using FPM, since the apache docker layer used by this project breaks on my NAS's old kernel. I assume there is no equivalent FPM image for chandler just yet; I also assume you don't want to publish one until Chandler's out of beta, so I'll make the image myself for now!

I am a bit lost, how do I use chandler if it is marked as read only? How do I install it on docker?

Nope I'm afraid, but can see the main version comes with apache

@cellulosa did you get it working with a different database?

[cellulosa]

nope I'm running it with sqlite

[mathyvds]

Alright, thanks! I didn't get search working with sqlite

[cellulosa]

Alright I just switched from sqlite to postgres and the search works fine. Here's what I did in case you're interested.
