What about self-hosting as a service? You get a server in your home which you own with your open source software and data in it. And you pay a subscription to have a remote sysadmin take care of maintenance for you and can train you on the software? What happens if you don’t pay anymore is you keep everything. But like a good insurance, you’d keep the subscription because of top notch customer service.
- fhennig 9mo agoI want something that can work for non-techies too, that I can recommend to my friends as well.
- ibizaman 9mo agoI fully understand. That’s my goal too and what I want to provide here. No technical knowledge is required.
- mlrtime 9mo agoWho would be your market exactly? What you're describing is possible but you would need to market it differently if selling to non-tech people. Now if you could make something like this https://oxide.computer/ https://oxide.computer/ for home users and make it affordable, that would be cool.
- ibizaman 9mo agoI target small businesses and possibly individuals that are already aware of the issues and are okay to pay a small premium for this solution. Also I am currently only targeting locals so I can physically go to their place and configure their server. I don’t mind growing slowly here btw. It’s my side business and I plan to keep my current job for the time being.
