Disclaimer: we are very alpha.<p>TL:DR; We are building a service were users can easily spin-up private game servers to play with friends.<p>Basically we support launching VM on multiple cloud providers (mainly thanks to jclouds), then we provision a game server via docker container on a vanilla ubuntu 14.04, finally the user can get the IP address of the VM and play.<p>Game servers are launched with pre-defined configurations, but the user can override the command line flags of the game server and restart it, directly from the control panel.<p>With this platform, we would also <i>love</i> to help multiplayer indie developers to host and sell their shiny new game server to users.<p>If there are HN gamers reading this, feel free to suggest any game that you should be available.
