[GeoNode-users] Managed hosting options for GeoNode as a service

Uhm, unfortunately on GeoNode we are far from having the possibility to
apply updates from the GUI yet.

A solution similar to this one, which still requires a minimum effort
though, is to install GeoNode through Docker and Rancher.

https://www.geo-solutions.it/blog/one-click-geonode-with-rancher-and-docker/

We are finalizing in these days the possibility of automatically update the
customized instance of GeoNode image through the Rancher interface, by
keeping all the customizations, accounts and datasets already available on
the geospatial portal.
