Agreed - removing the driver would make it much more interesting. Safety regulations could then be relaxed considerably so we'd see more spectacular crashes. Also a human's inability to control a vehicle during high G force cornering severely restricts the speed you can allow the cars to go.

And the driver salaries could be donated to charity ;-)

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated.

- link to main site on Github repo now fixed

- I agree the 'firs-run' technique isn't very elegant, I'll look into alternatives

- hadn't come across Packer before. It looks excellent (and lovely site design)! From a quick look it seems that it would be great for getting the inital image deployed. After that, Ansible's ability to make the image tailored to the individual is valuable.

Author here: this is a bit like Alex Payne's 'sovereign' project but using Docker containers for apps.

It's a bit rough around the edges but if any one would like to give it a go, the Docs are fairly easy to follow and you'll have a fully functional server up and running on Digital Ocean in about 15 minutes with a Ghost blog and piwik analytics. More apps to come soon.

Thanks for the link. I'd never heard of CheckVist or WorkFlowy. Having just tried them both, CheckVist is certainly more feature rich (due dates, formatting, multiple lists etc) whilst still being simple and keyboard driven.
