Good for noobs but if you want more control you'll quickly feel restricted. It definitely fills a niche though.

What is Cloudron?
Cloudron is a platform that makes it easy to run and maintain web apps on your server. Unlike 1-click solutions that do not assist you with any tasks post installation and require knowledge of system administration (like installing certificates, creating databases, having a backup/restore strategy), Cloudron provides a complete integrated solution for app and user management.
Installing Cloudron on your server instantly transforms it into a "smart server". There is a UI to install apps. It has a centralized place to manage the users and groups across all apps. Third party app developers can iterate as quickly as SaaS and provide support via the Cloudron App Store.
Cloudron also has a built-in email server solution which supports DKIM signing, SPF validation, spam filtering, seive rules, mail aliases and email lists.









Comments and Reviews
Solid webapp hosting platform featuring sandboxed applications, centralized user handling and automatic updates. Commercial plans but free version still useful if you're willing to update manually.
Cloudron now has Automatic Updates on all plans (including Free):- https://cloudron.io/pricing.html
Good for noobs but if you want more control you'll quickly feel restricted. It definitely fills a niche though.
AlternativeTo should have mentioned limitations so that people would not waste their time on testing things. CloudRon has at least two limitations.
For free, you can run only two "apps". To run more than two, you have to pay the monthly fee of $15.
You need a domain. Without a domain you cannot access the installed "app".
Cloudron was the BIG POSITIVE answer to all my problems i had in the past. Since i am using Cloudron for a year now, life's much easier!! Also have's a good up-to-date forum support. Many questions already answered if you're stuck somewhere. Keep up the good work dear Cloudron-team!!
Cloudron is an amazing tool. It's made by caring people who are very invested in self-hosting their data and spreading that to everyone in a package that allows nearly anyone to quickly run and maintain a server and deploy applications (which are containerized), whether it's for a business or for a home server. It has functionality for everyone.
Great software. Allows easy administration of a dedicated server and to easily try a nice library of apps. The backup feature is very good and easy to use.
I am very happy with Cloudron. A very well rounded Hosting solution with LDAP, TURN, WebRTC, Backup and much more.
