I was so sad when sandstorm kind of fizzled out. I'm still hoping Kenton is on a secret mission to somehow bring it to life within Cloudflare. How cool would that be? One-click installs of docs, email hosting, photo sharing, etc apps from a server app marketplace, onto a cloud server you control. (Insofar as you "control" anything on a cloud host, but I feel like that's pretty far, still.)
We've discussed the one-click install thing at some point (not necessarily with Cloudflare), I imagine that's still of interest. There were some issues with the setup process that would need to be addressed first.
Kenton is in the loop and he still has the keys. But, he's busy with other things so he only does a few occasional but vital things.
Or a box in your house, which is where my Sandstorm server lives. :) I think there's a lot of potential for actual self-hosting, though servers like Sandstorm need to have reasonable defaults and make it easy to manage domain setup and backups and security updates, such that one can get a box, plug it in, and reasonably quickly get to "don't need to touch this ever" territory.
