Cloudron selfhosting platform

Would https://cloudron.io be applicable to get included in the privacytools.io listing? We focus on allowing people to easily selfhost apps to empower them to stay in control of their web services and data by virtue of letting them run on their own infrastructure without deep technical knowledge.

Cloudron is not licensed under AGPLv3, it is proprietary software.

@orochimaru If the requirement for listing there is open source, then Cloudron cannot be listed there. If it's privacy respecting, then sure. We operate under source available model where all the code and development is public and open for inspection. I couldn't make out from looking at the site immediately if that is a requirement but it seems they have a few sponsors and none of them are open source atleast.

Yes!

Correct.

Looking at the recommended email providers it's clear that being open source is not a requirement:

being open source is not a requirement

Confirmed on their Contributing page in GitHub where it states "Open Source / Free Software is preferred but not required."

I think Cloudron meets at least 3 (the bottom ones) of the 5 "main" software criteria listed on their page:

• Easy to use. Could your mother use that tool or service? Usability is most important.
• Cross-platform / Accessible.
• Privacy respecting.
• Open Source / Free Software is preferred but not required.
• Prioritize Products without Vendor Lock-in (decentralized/self-hostable) or data interoperability.

There is a contradictory statement it seems though in their Software Criteria > Software category, where it then states "Must be Open Source Software", so not certain but I think it's at least worth a shot to try and list Cloudron on there. We can create a pull request for it. The worst that can happen is it be denied.

@orochimaru erm, why have you changed the links in your quote of yourself from https://cloudron.io and https://privacytools.io to those other random links? Are you actually a spammer?

[nebulon]

@jdaviescoates indeed, kinda suspicious. Amazing how important our forum is to spammers to put such effort in

[jdaviescoates]

@nebulon if I were you I'd edit the post with the wrong links to put the correct links back in, or just delete the comment (and perhaps block the user too).

And perhaps simply delete this thread, so we don't waste our time to finally getting nowhere loll
