Cloudron
Cloudron is the best way to run apps on your server.
Web applications like email, contacts, blog, chat are the backbone of the modern internet. Yet, we live in a world where hosting these essential applications is a complex task.
We are building the ultimate platform for self-hosting web apps. The Cloudron allows anyone to effortlessly host web applications on their server on their own terms.

Installing
Note: This repo is a small part of what gets installed on your server - there is the dashboard, database addons, graph container, base image etc. Cloudron also relies on external services such as the App Store for apps to be installed. As such, don't clone this repo and npm install and expect something to work.
Development
This is the backend code of Cloudron. The frontend code is here.
The way to develop is to first install a full instance of Cloudron in a VM. Then you can use the hotfix tool to patch the VM with the latest code.

License
Please note that the Cloudron code is under a source-available license. This is not the same as an open source license but ensures the code is available for introspection (and hacking!).
Contributions
Just to give some heads up, we are a bit restrictive in merging changes. We are a small team and would like to keep our maintenance burden low. It might be best to discuss features first in the forum, to also figure out how many other people will use it to justify maintenance for a feature.
