This is a great looking app that certainly fills a niche (don't listen to the naysayers here). Seems like your target niche might be indie hacker types who are not as familiar with all the server management and setup stuff (or just want to make it easier). Does this help with initial server setup (from a bare VPS) or running/deploying new apps? That would be an great next step to help less technically inclined folks use this app!
Thank you for the kind words. I welcome all feedback(good or bad) as I think there's plenty of value in both.
Yep, indie hackers are definitely a target group.
There is support for initial setup such as adding a new sudo user, installing Docker etc. but this isn't a single step operation. I'll write a document for this today or tomorrow.
I've though of adding support for Dokku(or something similar) in a separate tab to make managing apps easier. I will investigate and see what the best option might be.
I haven't tried the app yet but I have managed Linux servers for 20 years and still think this app can be pretty useful.
You can use whatever tools to set up the initial state of a server using this app.
