if you want I can setup a branch of the jenkins.io on the digital ocean apps platform because @dduportal did an awesome job dockerizing the site. Could even have it password protected if we can figure out how to add it to the docker image https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/blob/6f3331642a780164c704b28e98ec1d704d74e671/Dockerfile#L53
