We do back up data, although it's manual. The docker instance home directory and homebrew are backed up in a separate partition. So it survices restarts and container updates.

We only allow ttyd not ssh, so users only have access to their individual containers and isolated from the host. But inside the container they can do whatever they'd want. There are also caps on CPUs and resource and PID limits so as to avoid noisy neighbor situations

True but Unfortunately, it's expensive to run VMs that are stateful and ongoing. In a way the 99 cents is just gate keeping really interested people vs others.

Thanks! At the moment no, but down the line I imagine we can expose it if this is useful

Yup we actually backup data in a separate partition per container. So it survives restarts and even accidental deletions.
I like that you’re questioning how cheap managed hosting can actually get. Feels like a real experiment rather than pure marketing. Looking forward to seeing what breaks first
Haha thanks ! Yeah i really pushed the limits on this one :)
nice. what happened to $0.99? Current site is showing: 16 spots left at $3.99/mo then $9.99/mo for new signups
Sorry that was only for the early adopters, the current price is at 3.99 so we can have some margin.
You can do that but if you do not give them enough resources it will struggle.

I build a similar system that gives Telegram only plans for $5 p/m.

What have you seen to be the bottleneck ?

From the usage patterns I've seen for 90% of the use cases it seems to be fine, the one exception being Browser based use cases which chugs memory and so needs a beefier machine.
