A list of Cloudron-like services/ competitors

Any comments on which platforms make installing multiple apps on a single server easiest? Many apps are occasional-use-at-most, no real need to rent servers for each

I've not tried most of them, but in my limited experience: Cloudron!

Not entirely sure it fits in the list, but it kinda does so ... Dokku https://dokku.com
I didn't it find it so useful and have just re-purposed the VPS to try out cosmos-cloud

Close enough, added.

Would FreedomBox fall into this? For home server but feels kinda similar.
Thanks @jdaviescoates for compiling that list, and everyone for contributing
It's weird, I feel very happy with Cloudron, loves the community and the devs, and well sure some apps are still missing but packaging is happening (and well I cannot complain since I do not code), but the one thing that makes me want look elsewhere (beyond my unstoppable curiosity) is not technical or functionality, but is the damn license which is hard to justify in the world I'm in (and with the fact that I am a free software advocate / activist). I understand the devs reasons for it, and as long as the code is public I can live with it (and kinda justify it), but I really wish it could be done differently.

Added, thanks.

I'm running EasyPanel right now, mostly for Rotki. Their approach is two-stepped, in that you have to make a Project; within this Project you can install your own app, or you can choose from the Templates that are already prepared. Templates are essentially "apps". You can also pay to increase the number of projects, for better monitoring, and for DB backups.

Thanks, I'll add that to the OP

@adison said in A list of Cloudron-like services/ competitors:
isn't casm workspace like cloudron as well in a sense?
No, Kasm is very different to Cloudron.
Kasm is a wrapper to launch and run VM's. -

We all love Cloudron because it Just Works and automates/ takes care of so much.
As a bit of market research for Cloudron and as a list of other interesting options for people to try/ investigate for deploying apps that aren't yet on Cloudron, let's compile a list of the similarish "one-click install" type services that are out there.
I'll get us started:

https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/There is also this handy tool by @rosano that lists all the apps available on Cloudron, YunoHost and CapRover https://easyindie.app/ (be cool if it listed all the apps on all these systems!)
What else is out there?
@jdaviescoates beautiful list, and thanks to everyone for compiling so many options here. would love to integrate more into easyindie.app (preferably ones that don't require too much command-line setup / management), it's open-source so people can also make pull requests, i can help explain how to add other platforms

That's quite different imho (like I would never use it myself as it's really more for developers to spin up their own apps as far as I can tell), but I've added it anyway

Do any of these have a working mail server built-in like Cloudron has? For me, that is one of the USP.

Good question!

@necrevistonnezr Well, I went through the list for you. Some of them I could have told you immediately because I use them, or tried them. Suffice to say, ONLY https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual/Email has the option for built-in email. The rest have no email options, or offer email clients. At best, a few offer the usage of an SMTP server but it is one you must have already set up outside of the environment (like Mailgun, Sendgrid, etc.).
ONLY Cloudron mentions email on it's front page, and only Cloudron then makes its setup so seamless and easy as to almost make a user not even realize there is email! And then ONLY Cloudron offers email clients with which one can use this built-in email service.

Found another one, from their description it's an interesting approach: https://selfprivacy.org/

@fbartels But they need us to use two servers?? One for services, one for DNS. And their site https://selfprivacy.org/docs/getting-started/, for me at least, doesn't actually tell me what I'm installing. But elsewhere they reference
cd /etc/nixos
so I guess it is based on nixos? Then there isa Linux Desktop app... is this what I install on the server?? Their instructions listGenerating tokens Installation Connecting to the services
but then the text skips the "Installation"... forget it! Cloudron has spoiled me for it's clarity of purpose and instruction.
