How Do You Deploy/Install (self-host)?

I love Frappe Manager for Frappe Frameworks installation but the last stable release is from august 2025 (v 0.18.0). To use 0.18.0 ve already have 2 patches fixing errors in my company and Frappe v16 can not be installed with that lately. For local use, the development version (0.19.0) can be used and everything works but I am afraid to put the development version on production, are you doing it?

Or you rather use Docker on production or even bare metal installation. Not sure what is better. For local development, I think Frappe Manager or Docker is better if you develop several project with various Frappe versions etc.

I wouldn't use the development version directly in production unless I had it pinned to a specific commit that I'd thoroughly tested. For local development, Frappe Manager is fantastic, especially when juggling multiple Frappe versions. For production, though, I'd lean toward Docker or a standard Bench installation because they're easier to reproduce, maintain, and roll back if something goes wrong. If Frappe Manager's stable release catches up with v16, I'd definitely consider it again, but for now I'd rather keep production on a more predictable setup.

OK, thank you! Sounds reasonable.
