quotingJust released: Coracle Hosting!

https://hosting.coracle.social
This is me trying to make money on open source. You can now PAY ME to get a HOSTED community relay by visiting https://hosting.coracle.social.
https://hosting.coracle.social is powered by https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/caravel, which uses https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/zooid to cheaply run MANY relays on a SINGLE machine.
What this means of course is that you can UNDERCUT my business model by deploying it on your OWN infrastructure and out-marketing me! Let a zillion flowers bloom!
Here's the catch though — I'm going to be integrating this deeply into Flotilla, so — assuming I can get my act together and make Flotilla actually good — you'll never have a chance because I own the relationship with the user! However, please let me know if you decide to run Caravel seriously and I will consider adding you to the alternative hosting options in Flotilla.
Some neat things about Caravel:
- You can accept RECURRING payments with lightning via NWC, as well as by card.
- It automatically provisions relays in the background using zooid's relay.
- Virtual relays support livekit and blossom integrations if you enable them.
- There is a free tier that provides a subset of functionality with a low member limit, so you can try it without any payment details.
Give it a try and stress test my billing logic! There's only a slight chance I will accidentally charge you the wrong amount.

Ironically, this is not great for decentralization. But people want users, and users want convenience. I'm doing it the best way I can — FOSS and protocol-first.
