If you care so much about the users as you say then you will release the code in a docker image so they can continue using your product.

their target audience does not know what a "docker" is, much less wants to lease a server for hosting

You can teach someone how to rent a vps and run a docker image with one 10-minute youtube video. Then they can use the drag and drop editor and run the bot themselves. If they don’t want to pay for hosting that’s too bad. A vps to run a bot will cost a couple bucks a month.

yes but also once you let that happen there will be thousands of discord servers holding tokens, with no security updates...

It's actually pretty hard to install Docker... Add Docker official GPG key... Install a bunch of crap...

Oh come on. I'm sure they care about the users, and they were also hoping to build a business. Why the hostility? You don't have to kick them when they are down.

*You can teach ~someone~ a very technical user how to …

I get the non-techie blindspot that all of us have in some form or another. With that in mind: it took three days to give my brother a crash course in Linux + Docker for his own home server (and even then he only knew the very basics). He’s fairly proficient in tech: builds his own desktops, knows the basics of code, doesn’t shy away from digging into the why, etc.

It would be unrealistic (and frankly irresponsible) to expect someone to setup _and understand_ a Docker server setup from a 10-minute video.

It's in the repository, no?

I don't remember having trouble installing docker on debian.

You need to add their repository. It's way harder than it should be.
