<div>They appear to require apps to be “ported” to their format before you can deploy them, so the biggest question that occurs to me is: would the effort required to port XOT to sandstorm be greater than the effort required to automate something using (arguably,
I suppose) more standard tools like vagrant+ansible, or perhaps Docker, and could such a “port” be easily developed in parallel to the non-sandstorm version? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m working on a <a href="https://github.com/tunapanda/provision">big ansible project for deploying classroom servers</a> and have been meaning to add a role for automated deployment of XOT anyway. I can’t make any guarantees re when this would happen,
but if others are interested I’ll post here when progress is made.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not saying that this should keep anyone from investigating sandstorm, just putting other options out there. </div>
