Now, as compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer#5864 have been merged (Thanks!), I want to add support from Cerberus to the main website.

Let me know if I can help more!"
We do not presently have a tarball, but we have a very simple ubuntu-based docker container:
As you can see, the installation is done via OPAM package manger, which is, in turn, provided by Ubuntu (and other distros). Theoretically one can make OPAM to install everything under /opt or any other location by providing --root=/opt/compiler-explorer/.opam command line option to opam init command.
I am volunteering to do what's needed but need some guidance.
