Eddie from the DigitalOcean DevRel team here. We're looking to partner with all the folks to help support and deliver open source and vendor software easily. Here to answer what I can.

The only true benefit turnkey 1-click software truly offers me is not having to worry about configuration and backups, but ironically I always find myself too worried about backups or data integrity to use these types of platforms.

Do you have or are you planning to have a centralized way for these apps to perform and restore backups or is that handled by each partner themselves?

All of these images are deployed directly onto a Droplet which has access to all standard features including backups [0].

See cloudron (which is funnily a 1-click in DO) which solves this

A decent droplet is capable of doing a lot of things, the one-click install seems to be per droplet. I'm not so sure how multiple on-clicks apps work in one droplet, or can it work at all (how to avoid conflicts of automation of multiple robots?)

Looks like everything is free so far and the paid options are coming later?

Please see my reply here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19312226

TLDR: Vendors can add licenses now. Billing coming later.

On Firefox, the details button does not do anything. I.e create droplet -> images -> marketplace -> app details
