<![CDATA[Cloudron on Runpod: a template to quick start your cloudron]]>Would the Cloudron team like to setup an official / semi-official Cloudron template on Runpod?

https://runpod.io

Runpod lets you rent hardware by the hour and has a speciality in GPU enabled systems which are very useful for AI.

The idea would be to have a Cloudron pod template which you could use to instantly turn on a cloudron with all the tools that cloudron makes available. Currently we have eg Ollama, and in the future we might have many more.

What do you think, @staff ?

Having the luxury of that car is brilliant when you are actually driving it but when you need to sleep or park, it is a total waste.

Generally, the high end video cards with huge amounts of VRAM are a luxury for most people, who instead make do with buying a much more humble piece of kit. However, if instead of buying the hardware outright, they pay for the car only when they need it, they can enjoy a much more luxurious and capable experience.

So many new AI applications are being created these days, I think I shall start a discussion thread on it and what Cloudron could do to support it.

Given the Cloudron primary purpose is self-hosting, I expect that will need to move to including with GPUs and local models.

I expect ARM is going to be significant in this, too, for smaller focused models.

I haven’t compared Runpod to Koyeb, just mentioning for completeness.
