Hi Levente, I heard something about Docker containers which are like a Squeak image except for an entire Linux server configuration. It can be dropped into several different hosting services...
docker.com
Do you know anything about this or does it sound like a good idea?

we have migrated everything from the Hetzner server over to the Gandi servers. You can cancel that one, box2 is no more.
Ok, so to confirm, we should close the Hetzner account completely? I want to be completely clear that's what I should do before I do it. :)
We're sorry this could not wait until we have a Rackspace server, but the Hetzner server's disk was failing.
Understood.
We will think about how to make server migration simpler in the future, because even Rackspace likely would not a permanent solution, right? Do you have recommendations for that?
Well, these donations come and go. Right now, Rackspace seems the most willing to give lots of donated VPS. Once upon a time, it was Gandi who was giving the most.
It's tough to know, but given that Squeak is pretty short on funds, I think going with free is the way to go, so I think migrating to Rackspace is the right option for now, when you have a cahnce.
