$30 a month is too expensive for some of these tools (and perhaps too cheap for some of the others). For instance, I run my own Nextcloud server for 10$/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 agree that the maintenance effort differs wildly per app. I don't actually agree that nextcloud is 0 effort post-setup. If you see our forums or the nextcloud forums, you will see how many questions are really just installation and update related. We have so far not wanted to get into per-app pricing, because we see ourselves as app packagers and not providing support for the app itself. For example, we don't actua…

Just signed up for your service today and got OnlyOffice and NextCloud provisioned and working in under 10 minutes. This is after dozens of hours over the last couple weeks attempting to do the setup following guides and install docs online. $30 is a great price point and I will probably add this to my service offering to my customers. One question, any plans to offer installs on different servers all managed under one my.domain.com?

This looks really nice. In principle, I'm a big advocate of self-hosting (one of my services is even on this list). In practice, it just doesn't work for me. Once I get beyond 2-3 services it's just too much hassle to keep track of everything. The key realization for me is that I don't actually care too much where the software is running, or who is running it for me. What I do care about is a avoiding vendor lock-in.…

Docker Swarm shines in this regard because it's easy to setup, and its simplicity allows you to just forget about it. I run 30+ services behind a reverse proxy for personal use and don't need to keep track of anything.

For ease of setting up self-hosted apps, Yunohost (https://yunohost.org) is less polished than Cloudron (https://cloudron.io) but is free. There's also Sandstorm (https://sandstorm.io) which had funding at some point and was looking slick, but it's not clear if development is continuing.

From https://selfhostedsource.tech/about : > Lucid index sources it's data from curated lists of software compiled by volunteers.

My biggest factor in choosing an Open Source Software platform is the size * activity of the community.

I think it would be a huge improvement to give me a sense of whether the product is well supported.

There are a few reasons for this...

1. I want to choose an OSS that will have security vulnerabilities resolved in a timely fashion.

2. I want the product to keep up with the times and changing landscape.

3. I want to be able to converse usefully in a forum to resolve issues.

4. I don't want to search for a new replacement product and undergo a migration because all the devs have abandoned the project in x years.

https://bitnami.com/stacks helps quite a bit (disclaimer, I am the cofounder)

Question to people with better knowledge of English than me (or lawyers): what is the difference between disclaimer and disclosure? To me “I am a co-founder” sounds like a disclosure (of vested interest) and disclaimer would be something like “I am not a lawyer. I am not your lawyer. This is not a legal advice”

This did sound like a disclosure to me as well. A disclaimer would be something like, "Use it. Your mileaage may vary. I am not responsible for any troubles you encounter whilen using it."

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

I recently launched freshlytics - selfhosted privacy respecting analytics. Let me know if you’re interested in onboarding it into Cloudron :) https://github.com/sheshbabu/freshlytics

This looks great and would surely be a great addition. If you like, join us at https://chat.cloudron.io and we can together start working on an app package.

$30/m seems quite reasonable. If a business can't afford $30/m you probably don't want them as a client. A single support ticket a month will kill your margins.

Many SBOs are recklessly frugal.

Too true. As an SBO with many other entrepreneurial friends, I regularly have the conversation that they need to spend money if they want to scale at any reasonable rate. I generally don't blink at software <$50/mo, even up to $100/mo if it's solving a problem I need and gives me time back, and happily more if it will make me money. I don't really bother price shopping - it either works, or it doesn't, and it's "reasonable".
