   I was hoping for a floating point rounding bug in performance tuning or some such. This is just plain ol mis-management.

   Yeah, Rails would be a long ways off, if it ever happens at all. But I could see a use for a compiled Sinatra app, and that seems attainable in my lifetime. :-)

   Right?!! It’s just so much fun to use. I have even more appreciation for it after working on my own. :-)

   Please do… I would love to have some more example scripts in the repo!

   My son's laptop screen kept shutting off while he was playing American Truck Simulator. His truck would drive off the road while the screen was black. Every time I played on his laptop, this did not happen. He swore he was cursed. This

   I built this kit over the weekend. It was so much fun! I was able to get my MailStation on the wifi, run msTERM, and connect with telnet to klud.ge. jcs did a great job designing and documenting this project. Highly recommend you try it out

   Thanks for sharing this. I’d always wondered how NAT works and this explanation worked well for me. Nice bit of investigation too!

    I’m on mobile, so this page confused me. My eye skipped right over the button at the top of the page to launch the browser. But reading the comments made me look again. This is really cool! Though I’ll definitely want to try this on a deskt

    I’ve been wanting to learn scheme. I think this would be a good opportunity! Question: should I go with Racket or Chicken Scheme?

    Cool project! I will check this out. Note: you have a typo on your home page: "never loose a bit" 'loose' => 'lose'

    No, it’s not documented. I feel bad. It’s basically four keys: name, image, min_size (optional), and config. The config key contains the cloud-config, tutorial here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials&#x2F

    Well, hello! This is my project -- I didn't expect to see it posted here! It is as jgh said: "it's basically just a script that provisions a new digitalocean instance via the DO api, installs dependencies, and builds/ins

    This is great. Good work! My entire family is currently using Path as a small social network and share a lot there. I'd love to move us to something we can control and where the data (esp. photos) aren't locked away in a proprieta

    You might be more interested in installing our church app OneBody. You can do that by clicking the "Install on DigitalOcean" button in the readme here: https://github.com/churchio/onebody

    If you have an ssh key set up in your DigitalOcean account, then that is the key set up on the root account. If not, you should have received a password email from DigitalOcean -- use that. ssh root@the-ip

    There could be a standard, but I don't think it exists today (at least not one that is supported by the services I hope to use, e.g. DigitalOcean, Amazon, Google). This is a tool that scratches my own itch -- certainly not something

    I agree somewhat, though OneBody does have church-specific features built-in, such as favorite bible verses and prayer requests etc. It is specialized for church communities, though you can turn that stuff off and use the software as a

    Thanks for this comment -- reminds me I need to look into CoreOS some more.

    For OneBody, we have 6 different ways to install the software.[1] We're definitely not forcing anyone to pay DigitalOcean to host our open source app, but it sure is nice to give people that option when they don't want to mess wit

    This tool is built to interface with DigitalOcean's API so it can spin up the VM. There is no universal API for Docker that would allow one to install "anywhere that has docker", at least as far as I know.

    Yep, it already does! Whenever someone clicks to install, a referral cookie is set on DO.

    Matt, thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure this app would get official support from DO, since it's a bit hacky. I imagine DO would add their own install-button support at some point in the future (at least I hope so). This app

    Certainly, for anyone who wants to hand-type the commands on their own machine, we have manual install instructions for OneBody[1]. But for a whole host of people, getting the app running quickly on a host they control is like magic. [1] h

    Hey everybody. I built this small Sinatra app because I wanted a simpler way for people to install my software OneBody[1] on DigitalOcean. I'm not sure my little VPS will hold up under the strain of HN, but you can see the app in actio
