The pivotal shilling on hacker news is one reason.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think a lot of us feel your same pain. Has anyone had success with sticking to Dokku for small side projects on DigitalOcean/Linode/etc?
I've had success going from heroku to Dokku on DO. Pricing is pretty much the same and Heroku has mature features so I may switch back at some point.
I'm confused, please explain.

#94It isn't clear from the intro docs, but what OS's does Flynn run on?
The install guide mentions Ubuntu. Does it work on FreeBSD? Does it work on other Linux distributions from the Redhat family (fedora, centos, rhel, etc)

They're two completely different things. I don't know why people think they're the same by any means.

#96I too have been on a journey to create a heroku for myself. I finalised my system on using rancher + drone ci combo.
You can watch a video of my setup here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxPB2v-tWvQ&list=PLjQo0sojbb...

Currently Flynn clusters must be running a Debian based distro. Out of the box it works on Ubuntu 14.04 but you can get it to run easily on Debian or Ubuntu 16.04. It likely also works on RHEL based distributions.
The CLI can be installed on any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Windows and OSX.
Disclaimer: I work on Flynn.

#98How would Flynn compare to Cisco Mantl https://blogs.cisco.com/cloud/mantl-version-1-2-released-kub...? Mantl is Open Source, supports many Cloud platforms using Terraform including Openstack & virtualBox, schedules with Kubernetes & Mesos, etc, etc: all the buzz-words included :-)
BTW Met the Flynn team at 32C3, nice guys indeed.

#99You should check cloudfoundry -> https://cloudfoundry.org
It's opensource, multi-tenant and widely tested (used) by big companies.

#100I just migrated a hobby website to Dokku, which also markets itself as a self-hosted Heroku. I was curious how Flynn compared. Fortunately, there was a blog post giving an overview[1]. I get the impression that Flynn has all the benefits of Dokku, but has the ability to scale to multiple servers. It seems like Flynn is obviously better than Dokku, so I guess I get to do that this weekend. Keeping up with new containe…
> so I guess I get to do that this weekend Why not wait until you encounter a problem that Flynn solves and Dokku doesn't?
From the tone of OP's post, it sounds like he finds it fun or at the very least interesting. Let's not nip curiosity in the bud
