very cool, but why isn't this platform open-source?

Hey Ushakov We have published some parts of the platform in open-source here: https://github.com/elestio

https://github.com/elestio/cloudgate https://github.com/elestio/nginx-auto-ssl https://github.com/elestio/ws-screenshot https://github.com/elestio/nebula-rest-api

We are also going to publish our light live monitoring system (backend and agent) based on websockets

More to come :)

This looks very nice actually! Great job. What kind of networking options/capabilities do you have to make stuff communicate over a private network (and then perhaps even connect from my machine over VPN or connect it to a site or something like that)

Thanks :) We are using Nebula[1] to provide an encrypted private meshed network per project, so each project have it's own network range. We have automated that with a rest api and have published it as an open source project[2]

It's really cool because you have out of the box a private network across all cloud providers and also works for on-premise deployments

The pricing is unclear.

Hey Nickphx,

Our pricing is a combination of provider/Region/VM size. The lowest price is $0.014/hour for 1 vCPU/2GB RAM/20GB NVME, if you consider 730hours per month this means the monthly price will be ~ $10.22.

But you can delete the service at any time and this will stop the billing immediately. There are no commitments, we only charge hourly.

Looks nice. Great job. Can I deploy multiple services on the same instance?

Hey ceesharp, No, it’s not possible for multiple reasons:

1) We want to avoid additional services having impacts on your main service, like one of the services, could use all the resources (cpu, ram, disk) and crash everything else.

2) We are offering several types of backups, including daily full VM snapshots, if you need to restore a VM snapshot this will impact all the software on the VM

3) Price overhead of having a single service per VM is acceptable for fully managed services, where ensuring the quality of service is worth the few more bucks to guarantee that.

4) We do provide root SSH access to the VM, so you are free to run some additional stuff, but we do management only on the software we support and the part we auto-deploy
