https://bitnami.com/stacks helps quite a bit (disclaimer, I am the cofounder)

Seconding Bitnami - I didn't have time to learn Ruby, read through configuration files, search old forums for slightly-obsolete guides, and get familiar with all the tech behind Redmine. Downloaded the installer from Bitnami to my local server, clicked through - boom, done.

Thanks for the effort you put into simplifying the use of all those applications!

Question to people with better knowledge of English than me (or lawyers): what is the difference between disclaimer and disclosure? To me “I am a co-founder” sounds like a disclosure (of vested interest) and disclaimer would be something like “I am not a lawyer. I am not your lawyer. This is not a legal advice”

There might be a legal difference but in common parlance I see them frequently used interchangeably.

A disclosure reveals some previously unknown information, while a disclaimer renounces your responsibility for something.

So your example is correct, although "I am not a lawyer" could also be considered a disclosure.

Disclosure means sharing information that was previously “held close” (private). When people are afraid of being distrusted, they disclose their interests as a show of good faith.

Disclaimer means refusing to accept responsibility for someone else‘a decision to rely on you. When people are afraid of getting sued, they disclaim liability.

This did sound like a disclosure to me as well. A disclaimer would be something like, "Use it. Your mileaage may vary. I am not responsible for any troubles you encounter whilen using it."
