The biggest problem for me (that make multiplayer games that are latency sensitive) is that you can't get self hosted global presence. Otherwise my stack is completely self made and can run on a Raspberry: http://github.com/tinspin

> self hosted global presence.

Could you elaborate what that is supposed to mean?

$30 a month is too expensive for some of these tools (and perhaps too cheap for some of the others). For instance, I run my own Nextcloud server for 10$/month, the amount of maintenance per month is 0 hours. Nextcloud has already provided a very simple installation setup using snap. It would be cheaper, in the long run, for someone to pay a contractor 300$ to setup a 10$/month droplet on Digital Ocean. What I'm getti…

I don't even think it's that... installing this thing would scare most people away: https://cloudron.io/get.html Anything involving the command line is considered advanced knowledge for most people, so targeting your product to the novice is a miss.

Can you clarify what is scary about it :) ? Or are you saying using the command line by itself is scary? If that's the case, we do have Cloudron listed in the DO Marketplace (and in other providers like netcup, time4vps etc).

Great list. I started using Firefly to track my finances back in October. Loving it so far.

How well does it integrate with other financial services? I currently just use Mint because it's the only app that can consistently pull in all my accounts into one place.

would love a replacement for Mint but never find anything that doesn't require a lot of extra work

I know a lot of people here don't like Cloudflare, but they provide a solution to the "HN hug of death" mentioned above for free. Whenever you expect to get a traffic spike, you can always turn proxying on for a day or two and turn it off afterwards.

Does the HN crowd not like Cloudflare? If that's the case, why not?

Privacy. Cloudfare-users hand a lot of their clients' data to a third party.

This looks awesome!

Would you be willing to add my project (10K+ GitHub stars)?

https://github.com/amark/gun

It is a self-hosted Open Source alternative to Firebase, with graph features, and fully decentralized. It is used in production by HackerNoon and other sites with millions of users.

They terminate TLS for you.

They can, although they support end-to-end encryption as well.

I know many non-technical small-scale entrepreneurs who would love to use OSS self-hosted tools to run the basics of their businesses and get away from BigTech. I'm talking little shops, yoga studios, restaurants, recording studios, etc. All they need is basics - email, calendars, maybe some shift management, inventory management, and obviously documents. These people are completely non-technical and I don't know of…

Please give Cloudron ( https://cloudron.io ) a try. We provide a solution that makes it easy to self-host apps. We provide Ghost, Rainloop, Nextcloud, InvoiceNinja, GitLab, Rocket.Chat among other apps. Full list here - https://cloudron.io/store/index.html Disclaimer: I am the co-founder

What are you selling for $30/month? Looking at the home page, the customer apparently provides their own server and storage, installs Cloudron themselves, and then pays you $30/month to run open source apps.

To me, most small bussiness would suffice with a cheap Hostgator/Goddady webhosting with cPanel.

Heck, I personally "mantain" (not that I do much), all my company employees email address, different domains, a couple of simple webpages, calendars, issue tracker...

All without doing much apart from setting the anti-spam, and installing the Installatron applications I need most.
