Hi,

New user here.... I am in need of a little convincing regarding cloudron as I am battling to see that value proposition.

I am currently reviewing options for our company's cloud hosting strategy.

After having a good dig around, it would seem that cloudron simply provides a UI layer over docker and then throws in some network management capabilities and email...

I am battling to see why we would rely on cloudron and the associated app store is quite limited as opposed to something like running docker direct?

I appreciate that there is the package maintenance aspect, but from what I have seen about the support structure, there seem to only be 2/3 guys supporting the maintenance... how can this be enough to support an entire app ecosystem

I guess, what I am in need of, is some education as to why I would advise we invest in cloudron when we could simply deploy docker with something like portainer and watchtower for package maintenance?

I don't mean to sound negative at all, but I simply want to understand what the value proposition is, especially if I have to compare the available packages on docker vs cloudron?

Thanks for any insights you are able to provide.... from what I have seen, cloudron does look super slick easy to use, I am just worried about what the cons (if any) are....

Thanks
