AFAIK sandstorm self hosting only works on 64bit x86 machines and there's certain files I don't want hosted outside my own walls. The various ARMs are great for that use case, any future plans on supporting ARM?

Otherwise sandstorm looks pretty great overall. I always appreciate a focus on security :)

The primary problem with supporting ARM is that Sandstorm apps run native binaries. So in order to support ARM, every single Sandstorm app would need to be able to also be recompiled for ARM, or you end up fragmenting the ecosystem.

I'm also not sure how many board PCs like a Raspberry Pi or what have you would handle Sandstorm well performance-wise, though I do think there's some 64-bit board PCs you can get now to try it on.
