    I’m interested in hosting my own lemmy instance on-prem with my unRAID server. BYOVM seems interesting, but not sure why I would pay for that…?

      Some people prefer to pay a small amount to a third party so they can sleep better knowing that experts are taking care of maintenance for them.

      Origin of Elestio: we started deploying open-source software for websites and web apps we built, many for SMB and enterprise customers. Our process was basically: spin up VM’s from a hosting provider, install the software we needed, then update it manually / when it was needed / critical, etc.

      Once we hit > 100 servers/services needing updates, backups, capacity monitoring and alerting, etc. we saw that it was getting totally unmanageable… so we built what would eventually become Elestio.

      Managed databases is a solved problem (AWS RDS, Aiven, Scalegrid), but what about other open-source software? Marketplaces have apps templates for one-click deployments, but once deployed you need expensive devOps to properly maintain your software.

      Elestio provides enterprise-grade, fully managed services for 200+ open-source softwares. 100x cheaper than using human devOps, 10x more effective

      We are helping startups & enterprises from 16 countries to deploy/secure/maintain open source softwares at scale (some customers have hundreds of managed services with us), we are saving them tons of time and money by managing that for them.

      I assume they run upgrades and backups?

      I’d like to do the same on Unraid but I don’t want to use compose so that’s the end of that!
