Cloudron self hosting on EC2 now available
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoIt is good to see self-hosting options for more app platforms. My question is why one would prefer this over similar platforms which are also open source? If you're willing to allow self-hosting for free on hosting other than your own paid service, is there anything to gain by remaining closed? Presumably if open, people could contribute fixes and improvements as well as help you identify security vulnerabilities.
- nebulon 10y agoYou are making a valid point and there might be nothing to gain remaining closed. We are not against open sourcing the code either, the main reason is that it is not on our radar, simply because we focus on building the platform and open sourcing it would be a distraction just now. There is no reason this might not happen in the future, but it will require a larger effort to focus on putting processes and tooling for the community in place, to really take advantage of open sourcing it.
