There is a serious lack of a .deb installation package for Linux systems.

Personally I would love to see an official Podman guide.

I am selfhosting Penpot for a while with Podman and the help of the community guide and it works flawlessly so far.

Another thing which could help might be offering quick setup with services like PikaPods.

I would love to see more documentation available regarding reverse proxy configuration for Nginx, Traefik, Caddy, etc.

I also think more documentation = more better

I was trying to test the new rendering engine recently and just couldn’t figure out how and where to set the correct flag for that

There’s Penpot support in Coolify but it’s had some issues lately. Would be cool if Penpot supported it directly.
