Yes, As of today, there still are some tunning and manual configuration
needed, but hopefully there is some progress towards mid january. I'm
not sure if we will manage to get full security coverage by then, I'm a
bit pesimistic when it comes to security, although the process has been
started. I think what you can do is to help us with the security audit
already in progress:

For status and instruction on how to set up a working solution, please
look at

I'm sure we all would love to leave for Hawaii in mid January.
There is also the possibility for remote administration/support.
