This is exactly what we do :) check out our demo at https://cloudron.io. Another user commented there is no market for this, but this is not true since we exist and are doing well. Its a niche but this is expected since this is a developing market.

Just wanted to pop in and say that Cloudron is excellent and I really, really love it. I discovered it a few years ago and it's just fantastic.

CapRover is excellent too but of all the various tooling I've tried over the years, Cloudron is hands-down the most polished option I've seen/used!

I started using Cloudron recently and I really like it! I came to this thread to mention it, but I see you're already here.
But it's not as simple as that though is it? Does this take into account things like HA? Or offsite backups? What about security? I guess this works for someone who sets this up on a single server, perhaps just for themselves. But running services is a lot more complex that just isn't possible as a 1 click install.
Cloudron can backup to a variety of destinations including S3/GCS/Backblaze (https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#storage-providers). I guess it depends on what you mean by "service". If you mean running something for a million users, we are not the right product. Cloudron is meant to setup services for personal use and businesses. Our target audience has 10k users max.
What is a good option for doing this on kubernetes?
I am not aware of any. Cloudron itself might run on k8s some day but so far we haven't found the right customers for that scenario yet!
