@nikhm2n said: @funkypenguin I have no idea what Elfhosted does different, but why are the prices multiple times more than pikapods for the same app? Also, I got lost navigating the website and after like 30 mins, I still don't know up from down.
You can have cheaper than Pikapods with free YunoHost~
@nikhm2n said: No free server to host YunoHost unfortunately.
You are free to host it where you want and on what you want~ you can get a (good) LES server starting from $6/year...
@nikhm2n said: But, how good is YunoHost? Would you recommend it?
Some APPS are not well maintained~ so you should be careful and always have backups (isn't that true for everything?). I would recommend YunoHost~ (I should probably write about this). Give it a try: it is FREE.
@Astro said: Cosmos OS, CasaOS, Runtipi - all seem much better than yunohost
CosmosOS: the deployment is a pain, compared to a single line command with YunoHost on a Debian~
CasaOS: seems to only have 1x APP (Jellyfin) ?!
Runtipi: 4GB RAM min recommended~ and it was using all the 1GB RAM last time I tested it -- without having installed even a single APP yet! YunoHost can certainly run on a 512MB RAM VM, and if you don't run NodeJS apps a simple swap is enough.
There are now 2x main philosophies/ideas:
-you continue to pay to host apps (PaaS)
or
-you switch to self-host (YunoHost alike) and it is so much cheaper/flexible/autonomous.
Simple examples:
-it is FREE to try out new apps
-you are free to take a backup of your data, break something, then decide to restore (can you be that flexible with a PaaS?)
-you manage the (sub)domain(s)
-you can actually resale APPs running on YunoHost (!)

literally getting a docker container up thats it
Has an entire marketplace.

@Astro : at least you agree that self-hosting is better than PaaS?
Docker is resources-hungry~ and that is the road of Runtipi~
