What we ship

Docker engine pre-installed + ready
Appwrite installer image pre-pulled (appwrite/appwrite:1.6.0)
Setup instructions at /root/bluixapps/appwrite.txt (interactive installer)
Persistent workspace under /opt/appwrite/

Note: Appwrite ships its own interactive installer that prompts for domain, ports, and region — and requires a TTY. We pre-stage the environment and pre-pull the installer image so the operator's docker run --entrypoint=install runs instantly via SSH. This matches Appwrite's officially supported flow. Non-interactive automation is on Appwrite's roadmap but not yet stable upstream.
