      Arm CPU in servers are more and more comune, and for a lot of operations are a better fit, especially if you use a modern language that takes advantage of multithreading.

      And I think is time for cloudron to start to support it/working on supporting it, for now, 3 big cloud providers offer instances based on ARM CPUs (AWS,Azure,Alibaba).

      Hetzer announced that they will start buying CPU from Ampere too, and I think that with the rise of requests on the forum DigitalOcean is not far behind.

      Ovviusly this is my personal idea, what do you think?

        There is already a larger thread for arm support (although dedicated to the raspberry pi) at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3107/cloudron-on-a-raspberry-pi

        Essentially Cloudron itself works fine on arm already, however the app docker images all need to be re-built for arm. Back then, I have rebuilt a few of them and mostly they work as well.

        The main reason we haven't done this yet, is that interest was so far not very high and the overhead on our side per app update is quite big.

        So this is lesser a technical issue, but more a time issue currently.

          I have over 5 RPI's used as a NAS, media center, VPN, security system, etc. and as much as I would love to have Cloudron on ARM, I have to side with Nebulon on this. I'd rather have time invested into adding more apps like cough Anonaddy cough.

            You can add Oracle to that list.

              I wish to see cloudron providing arm support. I have much lower server prices with arm instances than I do now with x64. It will reduce my server costs I will bring more clients to licensed cloudron instances.

                  With the large tier of oracle, it should be great instance to start with cloudron

                  https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm

                  it's not big drive with 20GB, but 24gb ram and 4 cores. it is a real great start for a user to test and evaluate cloudron use cases before a comercial usage
