Author here: this is a bit like Alex Payne's 'sovereign' project but using Docker containers for apps.

It's a bit rough around the edges but if any one would like to give it a go, the Docs are fairly easy to follow and you'll have a fully functional server up and running on Digital Ocean in about 15 minutes with a Ghost blog and piwik analytics. More apps to come soon.

Very cool! I'll add it to tomorrow's issue of Ansible Weekly: http://devopsu.com/newsletters/ansible-weekly-newsletter.htm...

congrats on launching this! some thoughts and questions:

clickable: http://keybits.net/

* the main keybits-server repo doesn't link to keybits.net

* instead of the "first-run.yml" technique, what do you think about a separate repo with build scripts for a common base server with an ssh-able non-root user?

* how do you see tools like http://www.packer.io/ fitting into this type of workflow?

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated.

- link to main site on Github repo now fixed

- I agree the 'firs-run' technique isn't very elegant, I'll look into alternatives

- hadn't come across Packer before. It looks excellent (and lovely site design)! From a quick look it seems that it would be great for getting the inital image deployed. After that, Ansible's ability to make the image tailored to the individual is valuable.
