Cloudron.io's approach seems far more easier for developers to adopt. Every webapp runs in a Docker container and auth/user management is delegated to a single-sign-on service. But it's not open-source.

Sandstorm explains why they don't use Docker: https://sandstorm.io/news/2014-08-19-why-not-run-docker-apps

But the problem with the ease of adoption remains.

Cloudron is definitely easier to build and integrate apps for than Sandstorm. And it is open source now, although automatic updates require a license.

However, Sandstorm’s security model is a step beyone what something Docker based can offer.

I don't think so. Here's their license: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/blob/master/LICENSE

Oh, that’s unfortunate. It looks like they replaced the AGPL with that 11 months ago. It used to be open source!
