@ruihildt Jesus Christ how much does that cost/month?

Mine is pretty modest right now:

Running on a server I have running at my home with the following specs:

CPU: i3 9100 (4 cores)
RAM: 64GB @ 3200MHz
Storage: 512GB NVMe SSD + 2TB 7200RPM HDD for Emby + Nextcloud
Backup Storage: 4TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS HDD

I have a bit of an obsession with keeping data on prem (my home) because at the end of the day, a VPS is still someone else's computer and in my mind is no different from just using SAAS or Cloud services. But maybe I'm just paranoid.

The only thing I use a VPS for is GitLab runner.

EDIT: Here is my server (its green because of philips hue lights)

@atrilahiji It's dirty cheap, 15€/month.

With @rmdes , we've recommended Cloudron to clients and friends, and with lower priced VPS from Contabo, Cloudron was unstable and buggy, don't take those!

Contabo

Oh wow... yeah thats incredibly cheap. I was using DigitalOcean before. While they were reliable they were incredibly expensive.

Getting stuff on sale, my setup cost me a total of ~$700 CAD and sips an incredibly low amount of power. Eventually it will pay for itself... It is nice having 64GB of RAM to play with though. I'm coming nowhere close to my cap now.

My biggest bottleneck is networking right now, as I am using a shitty residential network. Thats where I would benefit from a VPS right now I think.

I tend to use the URL for the name once live and just a vanilla name when testing. This is in the WebCatalog wrapper:

This is on Hetzner €12/month (no VAT if you're outside the EU).

The business ones are on a €50/month Hetzner shared VPS.

Speed is the same on both as they are the same processors and most apps are not multi-threaded.

Moving everything possible to Cloudron, so we'll have a few more instances soon

@marcusquinn Thanks Marcus, will give it a shot.. this was in SRware's Iron - a cleaned version of Chrome.

Keep hearing good things about Vivaldi.

[robi]

@nebulon is this specific to a browser engine?

I was using ShareX and it consistently failed to produce a clean stitching.

Greenshot also failed, only grabbing the view.

PicPic did the one that worked finally after adjusting the scroll timing to one notch slower.

@ruihildt the link in the bottom of my signature is even cheaper if you opt for the yearly or 3-year billing.

Huge machines.
Mine's a 24GB VPS and just picked up two additional 32GB VPSes for customers.

[marcusquinn]

@robi wow, those prices are insane!

What are the location options?

You happy with them for uptime, support etc?

Worth approaching them to recommend a Cloudron partnership?

Certainly Cloudron would be a good case study for their blog: https://blog.ssdnodes.com/blog/category/alternatives/

[marcusquinn]

Ouch, maybe a bit too insane pricing: https://www.blogtipstricks.com/ssdnodes-review/

My personal Cloudron is running on a Intel NUC on my home connection. Looks like I am way behind in app count in comparison here

[necrevistonnezr]

My private Cloudron running on a ASRock Beebox N3000 at home...
Just the bare necessities for me. Waiting for Pi Hole / Wireguard and Plex!

and Plex

The volume management code is most likely getting merged today, yay. So it's big step forward for Plex. This will allow us to mount host paths into app containers.I will update the 6.0 thread when we merge.

yes, totally worth it. Using it across 4 diff projects.

What are the location options?

They have locations worldwide and more opening soon. Go thru the signup process for the list.

You happy with them for uptime, support etc?

Initially I wasn't as I got put on a busy server that hogged resources. But an email to support got me moved to a less busy server easily.

I already have & @girish has an email.
It took a bit of work and

[murgero]

And I thought I was using a lot of apps. sheesh

[rmdes]

I just Read the whole thread : it felt like cloudron porn

[marcusquinn]

@rmdes haha - I'm on my 4th Cloudron instance now, and lots more planned to spread the joy

Yeah, I've noticed that a while, and it's very cheap indeed, so cheap that it's suspicious imho. loll In 22 years online I've seen a thing or two
I'd made a bit of research about this provider and I heard many bad things about this outlet, so what would you say about that, considering that you are very likely posting a affiliate link under your 'trimurl' link in your sig file?

Take no offense, I'm not assuming anything lol just want to hear more about your own experience. Thanks.
