There are lots of hosting providers besides digitalocean - linode is a big one, so is joyent. I've been trying out digitalocean, but they make me nervous about reliability. Twice in 2 weeks I've gotten nonsensical abuse notifications (spamming, copyright infringement). One of the complaints was only 10 minutes after I spun up a droplet - my deploy script hadn't even finished. Makes me very nervous that DO will shut o…

Those providers are not PaaS providers, though -- they're IaaS providers. I don't want something where step 1 is "install an OS" or "configure iptables". I want something where deployment looks more like "git push origin/master --app production".

With a bit of preparatory work first, how close does this sound:

> cd app/production > vagrant up --provider=digital_ocean

?

There are a couple other PaaS options as well coming in the near future. For open source options that are currently in development, there's https://flynn.io/ and http://deis.io/ . For production-ready Enterprise private PaaS (meaning that you host the PaaS on your own hardware) that are currently ready for production use, there's Stackato ( http://www.activestate.com/stackato ), OpenShift ( https://www.openshift.com/…

Candidly, Stackato is an interesting platform/fork, but I looked into your pricing before and it's not really all that reasonable. If pricing was more realistic, or there was an open-source release of your CF fork, I'd be more interested.

Stackato is built for large enterprises who want the convenience of a public PaaS (like Heroku), but with the flexibility to run it in the datacenter of their choosing. With that, our pricing is built for large enterprise, which entails support calls, training sessions, webinars, bug reports, and all of the other good stuff that comes with enterprise support models. We really pamper you through the startup process to get you running on your feet. I understand though that our pricing is unreasonable for smaller businesses. We are however very open with our customers, and a lot of our existing customers really like that aspect. A great example of this would be the interview we did with Chris Turra at Mozilla on Wired: http://insights.wired.com/profiles/blogs/upholding-the-open-...

Docker shall not be distributed or downloaded to or in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria This statement occurs in the docker README[0]. If at all possible, one would want to keep such channeling of potentially offensive government policy out of an open source software project's public documentation. For one thing, there are many enthusiastic open source programmers residing in the above list of countries. The N…

After another legal review, there is another pull request open / probably part of 0.6.5 which changes the README to have language which the DSFG considers free.
