I've been waiting ages for flynn its an awesome project. I used Dokku and its lovely & its so simple.

Is there a way to install it manually on a server with stuff already on it?

Also is the source of the aws flynn.cupcake.io tool on github, it would be nice to see whats being installed onto an aws cluster.

It's great to see the project making progress. Is there any instructions for starting up a Flynn cluster on something other than Vagrant?

There are currently no tutorial-style instructions for using anything but Vagrant, but you should be able to just to run these commands in whatever environment you are using: https://github.com/flynn/flynn-demo/blob/26fcd98cd7646199513...

PSA to anyone trying this on Ubuntu 14: the docker command seems to be "docker.io" now.

Was the codename Walt Jr?

Not sure why is this downvoted..but it made my day.

It was likely downvoted since it was essentially content-free. While we can all appreciate a good joke, they lower the signal-to-noise ratio. This isn't reddit. A good comment says something constructive about the product.

On that note, it would be great to know what AWS `User Policy` Flynn needs / expects so I could grant it a unique IAM key with limited access for creating servers, etc.

Could someone point out to me (non superficial) differences between various service discovery projects that have popped up recently like,

[1]. etcd [2] skydock [3] consul [4] zookeper ( ok this is not new) [5] flynn

They all seem to be doing the exact same to me.

1. https://github.com/coreos/etcd 2. https://github.com/crosbymichael/skydock 3. https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/ 5.https://flynn.io/

Edit: flynn uses discoverd (https://github.com/flynn/discoverd)

Flynn isn't a service discovery library by itself. It's more of a self hosted Heroku. Though, it does use etcd for service discovery.
