Welcome back to – finally – another episode of the Selfhosted Web Podcast.

Welcome to the first episode of the Self-hosted Web Podcast! In this inaugural episode I talk about the self-hosting platform Cloudron .

The VPS provider mentioned in the episode is Digital Ocean . The domain service I mentioned is Gandi.net . If you enjoyed this episode (or if you didn’t), I’d be happy ...
