      I'm attempting to get Cloudron listed onto european-alternatives.eu

      While there are evidently some unrelated to Cloudron, I struggle to see which category Cloudron fit in best.
      https://european-alternatives.eu/categories

      What do you think?

        Cloudron is in a category of its own.

          I am not sure if Cloudron fits on that website to be honest. From my understanding these are all hosted services. Cloudron on the other hand is a software that you install to run some services on it.

            I haven't looked at the link, but isn't there an "other" section ?

              Thanks for this. I hesitated a little around this too. Then I read this on their "About" page:

              European Alternatives also lists open source projects that can be self-hosted. The criteria just mentioned are not relevant for these projects. However, it should be relatively easy to host the product itself.

              and I though it does not hurt to give it a try - Unless this also goes against Cloudron staff wishes too.

                Cloudron is not open source.

                  PaaS platform provider ?
                  Cloudron is a PaaS, you just self host it

                    +1

                    Seems the most appropriate to me too

                    I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                      @Neiluj would be great to get listed there!

                      Is there a way to apply?

                        @girish Indeed there is via the Chatwoot module available on the website:

                        Suggestions for new alternatives can be submitted via the chat in the bottom right corner or via social media (currently Mastodon, Twitter and LinkedIn). At the moment, we are mostly a one-person team, making it very challenging to respond to your messages "live". It is therefore very helpful if you provide an email address so that we can get back to you, even if you are no longer on the site. Of course, all suggestions will be read and considered even if you don't provide a reply email address.

                        If possible, the following information would be helpful for a listing:

                        • Name or website URL of the product
                        • Category in which the product should be listed (if one exists)
                        • Link to the logo (optimally in SVG format and close to square)
                        • Link to information about the company headquarters

                        It may take time for us to reply and list a product. So please be patient; we will surely get back to you.

                        Looks do-able 🙂
