HN discussionMark my words these guys are gonna be huge. Sure they are lacking in a lot of areas (like bananas mentions) but thats why you get VC funding and hire a badass like Jeff Lindsay ( http://progrium.com ) I'm really excited to see these dudes take on AWS with a higher-level and more performant platform.

HN discussionWhat are the advantages/disadvantages compared to Dokku ( http://progrium.com/blog/2013/06/19/dokku-the-smallest-paas-... )? It is also based on Docker, super easy to set up on your own server and: Available today.

HN discussionI'm confused, there is an existing project called localtunnel that does exactly the same thing and dominates search results for "localtunnel". At the very least, pick a different name. http://progrium.com/localtunnel/

HN discussionWere you aware of localtunnel " http://progrium.com/localtunnel/" before you started this project? I think it does sort of the same thing. Obviously you have a lot more features than localtunnel does (SSL, HTTP Auth, Raw TCP/UDP tunneling), but it's something to be aware of.

HN discussion So, I wrote Dokku, helped design Docker, was co-architect of Flynn, and am now in R&D partnership with Deis. I also made Localtunnel, RequestBin, Hacker Dojo, etc etc if anybody is keeping track. I guess I'm not who this question was intended for, but I figured I'd share some context. I can't speak as much to Flynn right now, but here is a fairly recent blog post about the current status of Dokku: http://progrium.co…
