My whole purpose in using Heroku is to avoid self-hosting something, to get the "platform as a service." Is that not the main attraction of heroku? Maybe not for everyone, if the idea of a self-hosted product as an "alternative" to heroku has traction?

Presumably this is why the cloud/hosted version OP is working on has a good chance of being profitable. Open source means it's hostable as a backup plan, but the cloud version is there for those who want the convenience.

Right. It's not even about the initial setup and provisioning. I can handle that. But what I don't want to handle is constant maintenance. I get weekly notifications of maintenance that Heroku is doing for me. I have no interest in doing these things, or hiring anyone to do them.

That will be Coolify Cloud :) (https://beta.coolify.io).

Ruby/Rails aren't listed as supported apps. My how ruby has fallen. :(

yeah, that's disappointing. I'm a Ruby fan and my latest startup is built on the rails stack.

It's using buildpacks though, so shouldn't it be (easily) supported?

Yes, as lolinder mentioned, there will be a hosted version soon. :)

I think simple and not doing it yourself is the entire selling point for heroku.

Coolify sounds cool, And i love the idea of being able to have self-hosting as a backup which it would allow, but i don't want to HAVE to self host. Would rather pay Coolify to host for me until they go out of business / change direction, at which point i can continue on with the self-hosted bit.
