The dev of Vorta (borg backup gui) and borgbase (backup server) (both really good by the way!) has started something called https://www.pikapods.com https://www.pikapods.com. It’s still in beta. But I’d like something like this when it comes to self hosting services however with loooots of improvements and ease. As a beta product it has of course miles to go but certain things can be listed as must haves if self hosting is to start on the path of wider adoption: - easy data download/export (things like SFTP that this service offers just doesn’t cut it) - much easier maintenance of tools - addition/removal etc - if one has to deal with technicalities e.g configuring CPU/RAM it’s DOA for the end user adoption. - pricing - as of now this service spins up a new pod for every other service which bills separately - for end users that might not scale and might not be easy to use access - definitely more costly. I have given just one company’s example because I came across it a few days back but it’s a generic comment of course. Something like where the mail providers are today e.g Fastmail, mailbox etc. It would be great to have a provider where you open an account and specify how many users will access your tools and within seconds/mins you’re seeing your projected cost per month for your own instances of open source Spotify, open source Netflix, google reader/rss, fastmail, google calendar/contacts, some note taking service, bookmarking service, vpn etc. That would be useful.
