About Cloudron
Cloudron is a platform for running web apps on your own server. It installs apps from an app store, keeps them updated and manages users and access in one place.
What it does
Cloudron installs apps from its catalogue without manual Dockerfile work or database setup. Updates for apps and the server are published through the store. The system includes a built-in mail server, a firewall, audit events and encrypted backups to external storage.
Key features

Who it's for
