   @cloudron have you ever thought of doing managed hosting? I would love to be able to do that.

     @cloudron I would love to see a hosting cooperative owned by cloudron users who share a common hosting infrastructure

     @ntnsndr actually we started out first with "managed Cloudron" so to speak, but given that we are a self-hosting platform, this wasn't really the right product to offer for us. But we do have plenty of customers, where Cloudron is indirectly part of their offering to provide managed services.

     @cloudron one thought: in most cases "self-hosting" does not actually happen; people are relying on someone else's servers through a commercial cloud provider. (I appreciate that you offer a guide to using a home server, but that is clearly not what most of your users are doing.) I spend significantly more $ each month on hosting than on Cloudron, but I would love more of that money to go toward integrated service and support of a great project like yours.

     @cloudron makes sense! This is why I have been encouraging CoLab.coop and coopcloud.tech to enable this.

     @ntnsndr I very much agree that there are lots of various levels of self-hosting and Cloudron does work on many. I guess the main reason is, that we focus on developing the platform and don't have capacity nor really want to be in some infrastructure business currently.

     @ntnsndr @cloudron I am having this discussion with my friends at CanTrust Hosting Co-Op https://cantrusthosting.coop/

     They are focused on an all Debian environment & small number of apps as they are a small team. But I might convince them to let me run an experiment.

     I’ll DM you when I have a form up to gather interest.

     And Cloudron folks I’ll ping you too!
