shouldn't we hold back with allegations while there's a non-0 chance this is just a user wishing their other services were supported too?

It's only 11 in the last 48h, on lesser known projects.

11 in 48 hours is way too many and I'd call that spam.

Yep, sarcasm is tough via text. Oops. I should've done /s but it's too late now.

Interesting project! I've found self hosting a lot more approachable with the advent of AI to help with inevitable errors. I run every new app in its own service account and as a rootless podman quadlet. There are three main difficulties that I come up against with every app. First is backups, or more accurately restoring data. My understanding is that just taking a snapshot doesn't always give you a working restore point because an app could be mid-database migration or something like that. Second is updates, and third is accessibility outside the network. I am slowly working on my own solutions, interested to know how you tackle those though?

> coolify: hosts containerized apps, but every app is an island with its own login and little integration with the host or other apps.

That’s not an issue tho, I want each application to be a separate login, so I can have one pointed to a different subdomain or domain not all in one login and location.

Looks like the account in question is deleted now - do you have the original username?

The general public will do whatever their friends do. If there was an iPhone charger sized box they could plug in anywhere and have their own personal cloud that can interconnect with other personal clouds, and a celebrity said it was cool to have one, the general public will do it without giving it a first thought.

In my experience just telling people to enable Google / Apple backup for photos is a chore at 5€ a month. And for general public this covers 90% of their needs.
