Just wanted to +1 the parent comment. I'm sure you're tired of hearing this, but it feels pretty backwards that we have to disable parts of the installation just to get it to work alongside other stuff (with a shared nginx instance, etc).
Its understandable why you wanted to bundle everything, and I bet it makes installation much easier for beginners and/or lazy sysadmins.
That said, it would be even better if the installation worked with existing software instead of installing its own copy of everything. It seems like apt package dependencies would be more elegant than bundling everything together.
Its great to have the installation from source as a supported option. But lets be honest, that's a world of pain that's simply unnecessary for a standard deployment.
"It seems like apt package dependencies would be more elegant than bundling everything together." totally agree, that why is why we're sponsoring Pirate Praveen who is working on a native Debian package.
