@Gina Yes, I host several services with them.

[jspc@social.treehouse.systems]

@Gina I looked at them before, if they're who I think they are. It's like cPanel with a terraform interface.

I looked at the costs of their platform, plus the stuff you still have to do (assuming you do bring your own infra, and want to IaC things like spinning up stuff like databases) and couldn't see why I'd use them at all.

I don't want to diminish what they've done but I personally couldn't see the point for my personal or professional use cases.

@manfredzielinski oh nice, are you happy with them? They look like a fancier yunohost meets AWS click and deploy.

@jspc fair, my use case is that I'm lazy and curious. So I want to try new apps constantly but I dont want to put in too much effort or time.

[jspc@social.treehouse.systems]

@Gina funnily enough, when I was looking that was the use case I heard from others- quickly knock something up to prototype.

I've always done the docker dance for that, but it is a faff when you just want to get started with something- so I do see the attraction.

Do you know if this has a foss version? I couldn't see one before/ now.

If you go with it, I'd definitely love to hear how it is too!

@Gina Yes, very happy with them. Great service. You can choose your own hosting. The only disadvantage is that you can’t host multiple services on one server.

@jspc @Gina
#YUNOHOST doesn't work for your use case?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@jspc @musevg Yunohost would be great for personal use.
