Cloudron – Selfhosting made Simple. Instantly run 50+ ready-to-use apps

Hi HN! This is Girish/Johannes from Cloudron - https://cloudron.io! We have been working on a platform that makes it easy to run apps on your server. It all started when Google Reader was shutdown :-). We initially started writing self-hosted equivalents of popular services but quickly found that there is a ton of great self-hosted software out there. It’s just a lot of work to actually run them and keep them up-to-date. The idea with Cloudron is simple: you install the Cloudron platform on your server.

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN! This is Girish/Johannes from Cloudron - https://cloudron.io! We have been working on a platform that makes it easy to run apps on your server. It all started when Google Reader was shutdown :-). We initially started writing self-hosted equivalents of popular services but quickly found that there is a ton of great self-hosted software out there. It’s just a lot of work to actually run them and keep them up-to-date. The idea with Cloudron is simple: you install the Cloudron platform on your server. You can then install apps like NextCloud, GitLab, Rocket.Chat from the App Store. Cloudron completely automates the installation. Seriously - all you have to provide is a domain to install it on and it will take care of the rest like DNS/certs, databases, sandboxing, backups, authentication etc. The App Store provides continuous updates for the apps, so you can use them like any SaaS product (this is all no different from how mobile app stores work). Most importantly, all your data is completely private/local to the server - we don’t have access to your servers. Our complete app list - https://cloudron.io/store/index.html. Seeing is believing. There’s a demo at https://my-demo.cloudron.me (username/password: cloudron). Would love to get feedback!
