Is there any appetite to package the other Kopano Apps for Cloudron? The screenshots at-least look interesting...

@murgero Yup, I'm thinking along the lines of templating services for retainers with al-la-carte menu pricing, so anyone can do it, as a team, collective or independently. Cloudron covers the stack admin, we bring more clients.

Basically, the VAR/MSP business-model but with a rate-card so everyone can achieve respectable rates and retainers that are relatively standardised across providers and clients.

I have some good email flows for email marketing to pick up clients too, so will move onto that once I have the whole rates and presentations side of things sketched out.

Nice, I can see collaboration opportunities. I'm looking more at bigger businesses though, in the £1m-£50m turnover bracket.

Also thinking, the more Cloudron enables a reseller model, the more Cloudrons to Admin , so the support needs ratio remains while revenue and profits should rise.

Working on this every day now, will share more soon.

Not looked but maybe Bigcommerce provide sandbox accounts for API testing?

Also it will have cleared a lot of caches, so you should notice speed improve with use.

@atrilahiji Shame, I don't see a Woocommerce icon in their "Pre-built integrations coming soon" graphic. Bigcommerce is decent though but Woocommerce would be better.

Ouch, maybe a bit too insane pricing: https://www.blogtipstricks.com/ssdnodes-review/

Interested to follow this, maybe a useful link:

Be curious to see if Gatsby or Hugo could also be options?

@robi wow, those prices are insane!

What are the location options?

You happy with them for uptime, support etc?

Worth approaching them to recommend a Cloudron partnership?

Certainly Cloudron would be a good case study for their blog: https://blog.ssdnodes.com/blog/category/alternatives/

Me again!

In the last year I've rediscovered Twitter, and it's by far the most useful of the walled gardens for generating interest and audiences.

Can all those Twittering add links below for a Cloudron follow group please?

I'm on: twitter.com/marcuswquinn and just started one for work: twitter.com/brandlight_org

Of course, hope you're all following, liking and retweeting: twitter.com/cloudron_io

@atrilahiji Could be a frontend for WP & Woo. If you can package apps I can get you help with WP & Woo stuff, that's our speciality!

I have a good feeling this JAMstack app will grow fast:

I'm determined to build a business model on what you're all doing with Cloudron now.

I'm thinking al-la-carte menu-pricing for managed app hosting and services.

One of the hardest things for us all to do is cost and price these things, which makes it the best opportunity IMHO.

I'm thinking along the lines of a price for setups and then for monthly maintenance support. Kinda like a Sys Admins & Developers union.

Of course people can always do more for less - but I'm working on the costing and pricing aspect of this as a way for everyone to have a rate-card you can use for reference, with accommodation for discounting and affiliate sales commissions if you so desired.

I'm thinking of a hybrid model, where Cloudroners can offer both the setup and management of the Cloudron Apps where people want the community versions, and rates for the setup and monitoring of their respective enterprise author hosted solutions so we are equally contributing back to those app developers in bringing them enterprise customers where appropriate too.

I feel like all this should have been done 20 years ago and Sys Admin been a professional rate expectation like any other profession - but only Microsoft seem to have cracked that, at great cost to freedoms.

So, thanks to @girish and @nebulon 's vision, I can see a bright and fun future with you all, and doing all I can for the presentation side of things for your esteemed review in the next days and weeks.

@d19dotca bain of a Sys Admins life logins eh!

Would love to see a Cloudron oAuth-type solution. I need some sponsored apps alive in the App Store first @Lonk , then maybe we can assist with that.

Update went smoothly, with 11 apps updated too. Great stuff!

Just Draw.io and Retention apps remain Untested for me.

Only done on my personal server as I think work production servers should wait a while for a good month of uptime and anecdotes really.

I tend to use the URL for the name once live and just a vanilla name when testing. This is in the WebCatalog wrapper:

This is on Hetzner €12/month (no VAT if you're outside the EU).

The business ones are on a €50/month Hetzner shared VPS.

Speed is the same on both as they are the same processors and most apps are not multi-threaded.

Moving everything possible to Cloudron, so we'll have a few more instances soon

@robi Try Vivaldi Browser, does long screenshots natively. Awesome Screenshots extension does too I think.

I'm working on something for everyone. Please keep pinging your interest in here and I'll share more when ready, hopefully a few weeks...

@micmc Cloudron on Hetzner (Germany). The speed is the same on any spec as it can only use one CPU at a time anyway. Hardware won't fix unoptimised software. Much of the optimisation is selective plugin unloading per page, so that only the plugins actually used on any page are loaded. The shop is Elasticsearch, again on a pretty small VM.

Hey everyone,

Cloudron has been truly inspiring, and I want to everyone help more for all that everyone involved has been helping me with app packaging and discussion.

I've been in the digital business forever (25+ years) and have a pretty good network of contacts, all needing something, and often something we can solve with the right app(s) and setup(s).

Can I get a show of hands for who is interested in client referrals for app setup, hosting and maintenance services based on Cloudron and the specialist things you can do with them?

Developers, designers, writers, admins, consultants, that sort of thing.

I'm thinking to focus on clients that are willing to pay retainers, whether just for hosting & maintenance or regular consultancy time.

This way we can all use our good experience here and networks to make referrals based on availability and speciality.

I'll also be referring as many people as I can to Cloudron itself. Just don't ever sell-out, you're already worth too much independent, and I want to do all I can to make that more
