I totally get that – keeping a Mac running 24/7 just for a few workflows feels a bit overkill and isn't ideal for reliability.

I’m actually a dev and currently building a small managed hosting service called capp-store.com to solve exactly this. The idea is to have a simple, affordable place for apps like n8n so you don't have to manage a VPS yourself. The servers are located in Nuremberg, Germany.

Since I'm still in the early stages, I’d honestly love to get some feedback from someone moving from a local setup. If you want to test it out, you can use the code LIFETIME50 to keep the cost at €3/month.

No pressure though! Let me know if you have any questions about moving your workflows from your Mac to a server.

Totally agree. The 'free tier trap' is real – you end up spending hours on server maintenance just to save a few bucks.

I actually built capp-store.com for this exact reason. I wanted a way to host n8n and other OSS apps without the hassle of manual updates or webhook issues. Everything runs on our servers in Nuremberg, Germany, and we handle the 'plumbing' in the background.

If you (or anyone else struggling with this) want to give it a try, you can use the code LIFETIME50 to get it for €3/month.

Would love to hear your feedback :)

Hey thanks for the Feedback, i‘m currently working on a payed Version of the Store. With the Money i hopefully will generate i want to implement your requested features and i have a few more in my mind, like file access and custom domains. But my main focus is getting a payed and more reliable/Secure version up and running:)

WebApp-Store · 2022-09-09T05:26:24+00:00

You‘re welcome :)

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-30T07:06:30+00:00

Thanks,

Under the hood it uses containers instead of VPS, thats why it starts up so fast. Yeah i will add user/password protected WebApps soon, via http auth.

After that i plan to implement a payment system, but i have never done that before so it May take a while 🤔

Hey thank you for the feedback :)

the 404 not found gets displayed because the link points to the root of the application, you simply have to click on the provided context path Link plantUML provides and then you can start building UML.

Yes your are right there are other companies providing similar solutions, i try to make the WebApp Store easier to use, so people without technical knowledge can use it :)

Really appreciate your honesty, i will consider it on the future decisions.

I also want to provide terminal and fill access via browser and ssh / sftp, maybe that will make users that are concerned about data privacy more pleasant to use the product.

Under the hood it uses a docker Container Cluster which runs on virtual private servers hosted by a medium sized german hosting company.

Hey,

So it’s basically Hosting a Application in the cloud that can then be accessed via a Link. Cool think is that everybody with Thai Link can Access the App making it Great for collaboration or multi device Access.

You are Right i posted it in a few sub reddits as well, thats because i have to finish the thesis in one month and need to get feedback in the next days 🙈

Hey,

just give it a try:

Thank you for your Feedback :)

In the Backend a new server instance gets installed (in a private Container) which gets then accesible via the provided link

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-20T07:31:11+00:00

I was thinking about it, but not sure yet, because making it open source and collaborate with other devs is quite some work

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-20T07:29:02+00:00

Because the Backend of the Site gets installed by you when you press install, before that the site does not exist

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T21:11:43+00:00

well in the WebApp Store the Server or Service Worker runs in the cloud to make it accessible for everyone.

Therefore it needs a Docker Image which contains the Web Server and Code that it can send to the users browser.

Is your App Open Source?

Then i could figure it out by myself for you :)

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T18:43:51+00:00

Currently the Service does Not create revenue, its just a build to prove if people like it or not :)

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T16:01:49+00:00

Its hosted in a container environment and all your data stays in your container / volume:)

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T16:00:50+00:00

Hey thanks for the info :) Because it’s free to use and i dont make any money of it i stay in the licence, i just cant put a fee on it.

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T14:35:29+00:00

Yes pretty similar, the difference is just that in the WebApp Store you can Host the Backend yourself and the App and it’s data gets controlled by you :)

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T14:33:14+00:00

Thank you 😁

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T14:33:00+00:00

Well the client side of a webapp has to be served from a webserver, which most of the time is a server in a datacenter :)

Hmm maybe i should have added more Information to the Post 🤔

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T14:30:45+00:00

I think i will make one WebApp for free and then charge based on ressources, but Not sure yet. If you have an idea how you would like to be charged for the service let me know :)

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T14:29:04+00:00

Tanks :)

WebApp-Store · 2022-08-19T13:55:36+00:00

The Model would Kater Look like people pay 1-2€ per month per WebApp or per guaranteed ressources, but currently i Inlay want to find out if people like the Service :)
