Cloud Seeder: Block the Man-Made All Seeing Eye
We would like to introduce the latest tool in your arsenal against centralization and subjugation - Cloud Seeder.
Back story
Everyone seemed like they were talking about self hosting, but we didn't understand why it wasn't more prolific. Thus, we conducted a survey to hear reasons. It turned out the two most common reasons were:
- Lack of an external IP address
- Too difficult to setup and maintain
Our service already solves the first issue. We set out with a self-hostathon to figure out what the blockers were in setting up and running a self-hosted server.
As it turned out, it was simply difficult with reason - not every system is setup the same.
Our Solution
We needed to make things easier, so we created Cloud Seeder, a one click installer that instantly launches a fully encapsulated server appliance that is externally reachable.
At the time of launching, the current version of Cloud Seeder supports 20+ different appliances - from Mastodon which federates with Meta's Threads to Nextcloud which provides an enterprise-level, self-hosted alternative to the big-name collaboration suites.
It also automatically handles updates/maintenance.
We hope this will bring a new era to self hosting and, in turn, will bring the decentralized internet forest back.
Why Self Host with Cloud Seeder and IPv6rs?
- It's easier than signing up for a third party host
- You have complete control of your data. That means you don't need to "trust" a third party entity (and all of the employees in said company who you probably don't know nor do they you).
- It's significantly cheaper than using a third party host.
- It's a position to take in life - do you believe in a world where control of oneself rests in the hands of self or in the hands of someone else?
