There's clearly been a lot of thought put into KubeSail, the platform & pibox provisioning service looks interesting.

Have you had businesses try to make this part of an internal provisioning process?

It looks like you're aiming for hobbyists, but I'd take a guess you could be integrating with businesses at a premium.

We’re working on that, absolutely. The idea behind the KubeSail Platform is that businesses (or open source developers) can sell a fully loaded, pre-configured “box” that runs their software directly to their customers.

PhotoStructure is one of our favorite YC friends - and for example - a “buy a photostructure box!” Button on their site will hopefully be a great source of revenue for both KubeSail and PhotoStructure.

We’d love to sign some large enterprises (and we’re working on that too) but we’re extremely keen on making open source / self-hostable software financially viable for its authors (and easier to use for its users!)

Author of PhotoStructure here: I'm really looking forward to adding that button to the site!

I'm hoping that KubeSail can help my less-technical users self-host the stuff they care about. It's certainly a tall order, but it seems like the pieces are coming together...
