What are you selling for $30/month? Looking at the home page, the customer apparently provides their own server and storage, installs Cloudron themselves, and then pays you $30/month to run open source apps.

I'm not even a business owner and I think this might be worth it just for personal use. I hate surveillance capitalism almost as much as I hate the twisty little maze of services each written in their own language with their own config file and their own suite of gotchas. $30/mo seems reasonable for someone to make all those headaches their own, but still let me keep control of my data and uptime.

The thing I haven't figured out is what happens to it if/when Cloudron goes away. Do I have/get the passwords somehow so I can hire someone else to take it over (or, heaven forbid, dive in there myself)?
