This looks really interesting. Having the ability to self-host various open-source apps is great, though, for me at least, it's always a bit stressful. Without a lot of dev ops experience I'm not always confident in my setup and the upgrade process. Having a tool that simplifies self-hosting would certainly lower the "mental barrier" for more people to do it.
- Gigachad 3y agoUnfortunately you are probably still better off using commercial hosted services. None of these projects really seemed to have the resources to properly deal with the security you need for an internet hosted service
- arek_nawo 3y agoAfter a closer look - I must agree. On the other hand, with more projects implementing bash scripts or using Docker for easier installation, maybe there's a way to make self-hosting easier without such dedicated apps. Hosted services will always offer more convenience. If the price is fair, they are likely better options in general.

- anderspitman 3y agoThis is, in my opinion, the biggest gap in the market. Selfhosting shouldn't be any more difficult or less secure than running an app on your phone.
- arek_nawo 3y agoI'm a bit split on this. As an OSS enthusiast I'd certainly like for self-hosting installation and maintenance to be easier. However, from the business perspective, I also see this as just one less reason to use hosted services - which will degrade sustainability of many open source projects.
- anderspitman 3y agoNot sure I'm understanding you correctly. Can you share an example of what you mean?
