It's the case of me scrolling the site and reading most of the GH readme - and still getting almost no idea what status it is, what is the goal/vision and how I might use it..
"We do LXC stuff in secure and user friendly way" is the message?
"We do LXC stuff in secure and user friendly way" is the message?
Sandstorm is a way to run web apps as containers, gloriously sandboxed from each other, and moreover a web interface to install them easily and allow the user to create multiple instances of a web app easily.
It intends to grow features relating to sharing instances -- so that an instance of a web app is as easy to share with someone else as a Google Docs link -- and grow features relating to supporting more network protocols -- so that apps can safely communicate with the outside world, mediated by the person using Sandstorm.
Right now, the target audience is people who like running web apps like WordPress or Ethercalc on their own server. In the future, the target audience will grow to include companies whose IT departments want to enable users to install web apps safely without asking IT first -- they'll know it's safe due to the glorious sandboxing.
Just kidding - looks pretty awesome!!
It was pretty overloaded earlier, but is in better shape now.
