@Downes Ah, I see. So something like Cloudron instead? (Brian Lamb and Grant Potter are here and we're talking about that and Sandstorm)
@dajbelshaw @Downes I've been using Sandstorm for a couple years. It's a very handy tool. Super stable and is my Swiss Army Knife for quick disposable collaborative web apps. Unfortuantly, Sandstorm isn't in active development these days
@clintlalonde @dajbelshaw No DB in CloudRon. So that would be an extra expense. (I assume there's one behind the scenes for WP and others, but I don't see it surfaced as an 'app'). (Of course my use case might be pretty unique)
@Downes @dajbelshaw Good question. You could run a LAMP stack within Cloudronm which would give you MySQL. But yeah, a DB option isn't obvious in options, but has to be there somewhere for the other apps to run.
Server run by the main developers of the project 
It is not focused on any particular niche interest - everyone is welcome as long as you follow our code of conduct!
@dajbelshaw It does. The one knock against it is that it's old-style LAMP using PHP. This means that it is difficult to maintain and may become more difficult over time.
