Pledge - How do you run this? Is there an OVF image? #122

It feels like you guys have unfortunately shut-down and released the source code. Part of your pledge:

If we shut down a product, we’ll make it possible for anyone to run a fully-featured instance. That includes releasing source code and documenting how to install and configure our software.

I think you've done the first part, but unfortunately there's no way near enough instructions to run this. It's hard to access the Floobits docs as the certificate's expired on the website but your Enterprise version sounds like the simplest way to still use this? If so do you have one of the OVF images that works?

If not, could you share steps on getting the server running (I made some progress in a docker image although I'm sure it'll error if I try to use it) and how you'd get clients to connect to that host instead of floobits.com?

Thanks

So reading more, it looks like I could probably configure connecting to a docker container hosted somewhere (even locally if I set up the correct port forwarding) and configure the .floorc.json file to point to this host, although it's not clear how to do so.

Running colab seems a bit harder though as it looks like it needs to be backed by a Django database/site with no information on what that should look like and more importantly what the schemas/shape of the responses should be.
