Cloudron

jar

So I happened across this thing, not sure if someone posted it here or I saw it elsewhere, but I think a lot of people here would really like it. Check this out:

https://cloudron.io

Free and self-hosted. Complete interface for easily installing a number of desirable apps on your server.

What I found particularly cool was that using DO (they may support this with other providers too), it asked for two things after installation. Domain name and API key. Apparently it will install apps to a subdomain for you and create it in the DO DNS via API.

Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share it with you guys. I've seen a lot of talk around here about Webuzo which I never really got into, so this seems like right up the alley of someone who uses that.

Sandstorm is another that's quite similar - https://sandstorm.io

I just found a media server tools auto installer the other day as well - https://github.com/htpcBeginner/AtoMiC-ToolKit - kinda like EasyEngine but for Plex/Emby/Sabnzbd/Deluge/etc.

Loving all the easy launch stuff as I get older. I'm sure someone will start REEEEEEE'ing about security shortly though.

Yeah, I just tried it out on a new dedi last weekend. Took about 15-20 mins to get a Sonarr, Sab, Deluge, and Plex setup going.

Definitely going to give this a whirl as it seems pretty cool.

Thanks for sharing.

I find Cloudron much more useful amd stable than sandstorm. It's still missing some features, but it's under active develoment

HyperSpeed

Looks nifty.

Thanks Jar

This is like a more feature rich Server Pilot. I'm liking the sound of this so far.

I manage several WP sites hosted on multiple VPS, under the Server Pilot free plan. I like that periodic updates, firewall and other basic things are automatically taken care of. I do have to enable and manage Let's Encrypt manually, which Cloudron seems to take care of for free.

Thanks @Jarland, and @harambe

I'm about to try filerun but it looks free to me. I had never heard of it before.

I'll have to try cloudron too today. but I like Sandstorm for when I can't be bothered to hot patch all those 'self-hosted' php apps.

Sandstorm's sandbox model is really proper isolation by design.

dragon2611

https://cloudron.io/references/selfhosting.html#security looks like they do isolation as well.

Looks like it's worth having a play with.

FileRun is great - free for a set amount of users (I think 3?)

Saw it already there. @nebulon is the dev iirc, but he's banned. :P

heh.. failed on a fresh install:

cloudron log only provides:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 nginx-full
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I am aware that this is a common error, not 'really' related to cloudron, seems odd that they would not have this taken care of, DO have had an article about it for 2 years.

Will have another look when it is a bit more mature I guess.

Me no care what you do.

We have? I'd never heard of it until just the other day. Weird error though. I only tried the install on DO which is really just the Ubuntu 16 official cloud image. Nothing fancy or anything.

Ops. I forgot it has free tier.

@AnthonySmith did you remove apache2 before started installing?

It was not installed, it was a fresh install.

Maybe you guys will like QuickBox then...

Last time someone mentioned it on LET, it was docker that failed on fresh install. Its still in v0.1.x though!

Hi there, would you mind reporting this issue, with possibly a bit more information upstream at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/issues Especially since you seem to know the root cause for this common error, it would be great to have that covered.

Thanks.
