I am an Engineering Physics graduate from IIT Guwahati, but merely not restricted to Physics itself. In the past few years, I involved in many Cybersecurity blogging and now on Open-source.
It is always better to have 2 different instances one in local (development) and the other to the public through the production (in Heroku or VPS)
Also, remember, unlike the development forem instance to have a working production instance you have to configure all most all the environment variable in the .env file.
I would like to deploy it in production and I understand that I need to copy .env_sample as .env and add values but what about docker-compose.yml? It has RAILS_ENV, DATABASE_URL, and many things set as development. Do I have to modify it as well?

No need to modify system-oriented variables, by default in a system like Heroku the environmental variables of rails are configured as production. All you have to do is configure .env file.
Also just having a .env is not sufficient, you need to configure everything in it. Take for example the Cloudinary, Honey badger, Fastly, Pusher, Honeycomb, AWS.. All of them have to be configured.

Can I use this method to run a production instance or would you suggest another way?

By the way, I used
apt install docker-composeto install Docker Compose.Usually installing in such a way is not a problem, but downloading source code and installing it manually never, usually, results in an error.
Also, I would like to know if you have a successful forem production instance. If possible just ping me here, if you have one.
