We're excited to introduce Cloud Seeder, a tool designed to make self-hosting easy.
Problem Identification:
We realized there were many discussions about self-hosting but they never transitioned into action. After surveying potential users, two major obstacles emerged:
1. Lack of an external IP address.
2. The complexity of setting up and maintaining a server.
Our Solution - Cloud Seeder:
To make self-hosting straightforward, we developed Cloud Seeder. It's a platform that supports one-click deployment for over 20+ different appliances (and growing upon request), ranging from Mastodon (a federated social network that communicates with Meta's Threads) to Nextcloud (a robust, self-hosted alternative to major collaboration platforms).
Cloud Seeder is fully open source. The code is available on GitHub [1].
We believe Cloud Seeder will play a crucial role in fostering a more decentralized internet.
We hope you'll give this a try and start self hosting!
We also include a Configurator [2] and Tray [3] on github which lets you dynamically (from just a json) create dialog boxes and system trays. We use this in our application and thought it might be useful to people who don't want to spend time on GUI but would love to reach people with such UX.

Yes! That's exactly what it is; taking advantage of a trustless architecture (e.g., you only have to trust yourself versus trusting each employee in some random company with your data).
