A few weeks ago I mentioned on HN [1] I was looking for something where I can take a $5 VPS and install a bunch of Node.js apps easily. I did this with DigitalOcean + CapRover and it was extremely smooth. Initialising the app, enabling SSL, deploying - everything just worked. It was great. I was hoping to move over, but I won't just yet. Was hoping for two factor auth support [2]. The dashboard was publicly facing and only guarded by a password. There was also an issue which concerned me: 'netdata image in use is spyware' [3] - however I have not digested that thread and its related discussions to understand if it's a genuine issue yet. Finally, I was hoping to understand more about the motivations of the project. Who's funding this project? The OpenCollective [4] page shows an annual budget of $529.55 USD? What are the long term goals? How can they sustain themselves? I use PM2 for running some of my Node.js apps, but I can see there's also PM2 Plus and PM2 Enterprise [5] which helps me understand how they're able to sustain the free version. I don't mean to be pessimistic towards a piece of software which actually works extremely well. Just want to better understand its long-term suitability for deploying production-grade applications.
