This is awesome. I love that there is a new one push deploy in town other than Heroku. Will you guys ever support a Rails stack?

Thanks! Yes, we will definitely support Rails soon (several weeks). We are working hard to make all major stacks available.

I have some questions and, please, don't get me wrong, I'm not being sarcastic. I am really interested in your services.

The languages I play with are Python (Django and Flask), PHP (Symfony2 and…

I'm amazed something that works like stackful.io or heroku for your own servers has not been written yet. Like you, many tinkerers have a cheap server to use as a lab. It would be great if one could install on it some piece of software that provided heroku-like zero-friction deploy for new apps. Just do "app create", push a git repo and, bam, the app is deployed, with sensible defaults. The defaults are not supposed…

You should check out Cloud66.com they are _almost_ there with what you are describing. I'm really hoping to be using them in a month or two.
