@adison I'd update your blog post to make the first link to Cloudron your referral link too if I were you

[nebulon]

@adison nice blog post! Regarding the missing button labels, I guess those are the ones which only have an icon and no text? If so, what's the best way to add the label information to the code for blind people?

[adison]

@nebulon honestly, i would put something like, (domain here) manage, for the lable so that its labled

[nebulon]

We usually put text labels in buttons where there is enough space. Otherwise we show an icon alone and a tooltip. I guess those button should have the aria-label attribute set? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-label

[adison]

ah. ok. by the way, do you guys wonna maybe see a full-on tutorial on how to set things up on the website? i can certainly make1for those who wonna know.

[adison]

Zeabur: A new PaaS platform deploy service with one click (zeabur.com)

[adison]

now that i think about it, i see (even though i'm a blind person i can still imagine seeing) cloudron as like your own wicks, your own hostinger, your own, uh, 000webhost, but its your own, and it has a lot of applications. y'know what? i think i will make a post about installing cloudron.

Interesting: „Zeabur can automatically analyze the code to determine what language and framework the project uses.“

@necrevistonnezr yep, just like github can

[necrevistonnezr]

@robi well, yes, but apparently it not only recognizes the code language but can also deploy each project without a dockerfile

@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 ️

I realize it might be complex for me or any other person to integrate some of these into the easyindie.app listing, so I compiled them in simple text over at awesome-0data and added a few of my own, such as:

• libreserver: Your own personal server.
• ApisCP: Full-stack hosting platform with self-healing technology.
• CloudPanel: Run your favorite applications and frameworks without any additional configuration.
• Gardens: Host your own apps, find open-source tools, share how-to guides.
• Yacht: Container management UI with a focus on templates and 1-click deployments.
• Syncloud: Run your apps at your premises.

Also be welcome to contribute by editing the document.

Wow, this is expensive…. Chatwoot alone is 40$ / month. Not many apps (most „coming soon“). And I don’t see an email stack, backup routines, or something like that…?

Installatron ?

Here's 2 websites that lists Cloudron like services even if most of them are already included here.

https://thehomelab.wiki/books/helpful-tools-resources/page/awesome-selfhosted-self-hosting-solutions

https://easyindie.app/

I preferred not to post direct links because I wanted the list to be up-to-date

This felt relevant here in this thread too:

@djxx said in From NethServer to Cloudron:

I wrote a blog post to share my journey of migrating my self-hosted NethServer to Cloudron. Overall I've been quite happy with the experience and wanted to share it here in case anyone else is considering the same thing, or if I might be able to answer questions for people experiencing some of the same pains during migrations.

If at least one poor soul considering the move from NethServer to Cloudron finds this post and it helps them, it'll make me happy.

As they note, most other Cloudron-like solutions don't include a full email server and/ or don't have as many good apps packaged.

Repocloud is nice. I just deployed Perplexica and GPT Researcher on Repocloud.
I am not sure about the pricing though. Added about 10 USD to test it out.
233 Apps available as of date.

@jagan Looks interesting, but can't see a way to deploy to your own VPS. Interesting for testing FOSS apps, but doesn’t seem very open as a Delaware LLC, and can’t see how you’d control your data on your own VPS, so I wouldn’t recommend for anything you care too much about.

Cosmos, already in the list, recently had an interesting milestone:
link: https://github.com/azukaar/Cosmos-Server/

All in one secure Reverse-proxy, container manager with app store, integrated VPN, authentication provider, and Monitoring, now with Multilingual support, completely reworked VPN, mDNS, and many improvements

Wow, what a trip! 6 months ago I started working on this update, and boy, was that an adventure! The main culprit: Constellation (The VPN)! I always envisioned Constellation to be this one solution to all networking issues when selfhosting (Tunneling/VPN allowing you to use your server in any circumstances without even opening any port). And while there are some technologies that exist that gives you the networking part like Tailscale, no solution come close to the level of end-to-end support Constellation provides, as it integrates directly into the reverse-proxy and other features such as the user managements for a complete seamless experience. That level of novelty, is what made Constellation this hard to design and implement. After all this work thought, while it is nowhere near perfect (yet ;p) it is in a place where it can work and cater for many of the uses cases, and much easier to use than it has ever been.

Aside from this, Cosmos 0.16 has a lot of exciting improvements, such as Multi-language, mDNS support, which gives you automatic *local domains out of the box! As well as great improvement to compose import. But I will expand on those individually.
