Hi everyone, I just launched https://easyindie.app to promote the idea of self-hosting via ‘one-click install’ systems like Cloudron, Caprover, and Yunohost. Any feedback is welcome and the code is open-source.
Hope this encourages more people to own their data.
thanks to everyone for the feedback, great to hear you are receptive to the idea.
i'm personally super excited to get cloudron working for myself, it feels like the slickest and most robust option. i had it working but i need to save up so i can purchase the full version. congrats to this community on creating something so awesome and empowering with a sustainable business model too, y'all are trailblazers.
thanks again for all your great feedback. i have truly underestimated how important it is to browse via list and will make sure to add that next and let you all know. i actually had that working before and took it out! 
re: the discussion about comparing platforms, i thought i had built in a filter for platforms but apparently i didn't, so i quickly deployed that now. you can search for 'yunohost' for example and see the apps that are there. might be easier to spot which ones aren't yet on cloudron. and of course there is the export of project data https://easyindie.app/projects.json for those who like to wrangle json.
@girish Interesting, there seem to be many 'alternative' lists like this:
but BTW focuses on open-source. None seem to focus on 'easy to install' though…
@timconsidine thanks! it's actually 'comfortable text reading width' which i carry over from blogging and writing, but i might want to rethink this as it's not text-based ;).
i need to also have other options for going through the list, i never thought people would 'go through' it, assumed that people search for what they know already.
The number one feedback from various communities is to show the apps as a list instead of icons, made a small update for this today. Hope it's easier to navigate:
@girish the icons are a bit shaky, i'm trying to fetch them and serve them from my domain, but i had deployment issues and wasn't able to fix it in time. hey it works on localhost 
hmm the deep linking is a good idea, i was more focused on making sure people install because i think the cloudron interface is excellent and will carry the rest of the way. thanks for the info will make a note for later.

I tried restoring a backup created on a non-Cloudron installation and it seems to hang or have javascript errors. Also seems like the instance is generally a bit slow. Has anyone tried this before on Cloudron? Are there any known issues (like overwriting the admin email to something not created by Cloudron)? If my DigitalOcean instance has 2GB of RAM and I have other software on my Cloudron, do I have to add more RAM?

@girish ok i was on the initial setup and i had to click 'show advanced settings' and then set the subdomain to the zone.
a simple hint after the error with something like your message would be super helpful on that page. i'm super busy right now but could try a merge request if that would be welcome.
i appreciate the quick help, thank you.
i'm getting this error when providing my api token and i changed my dns earlier in the day. i'm wondering if it's possible to bypass this? it appears from checking via a 3rd party service that the nameservers are pointed to the correct place https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3Acloud.rosano.ca&run=toolpage
how might i confirm i've setup the domain and digitalocean properly?

@humptydumpty thanks for the tip, strange that the button wasn't there before, maybe it's not enabled for new accounts or something.
