  • This is why I never used their images for any of my projects and do everything I can to use official charts made by the software vendor itself or create my own and put them in my personal git repo for automated deployments.

    Any business that gives away middleware for free, likely does that in the hopes of monetizing that pretty directly and eventually will be pressured to increase monetization of those things by those investors or will be forced to stop developing those products due to lack of funding. Middleware really doesn’t have many other good ways to monetize.



  • It’s just a hosted reverse proxy with a proprietary server backend, as far as I can tell. I don’t usually trust “free” things lime that. It’s not that expensive to do it yourself, the real expense come in high bandwidth flowing through the proxy which most self hosted applications for personal use don’t really do.

    Anyway, with a reverse proxy on the security end there’s a chance of man in the middle attacks depending on the configuration. And on the privacy end, they will have the ability to log all connections. That may be where they’re planning to make money by selling that info and/or allowing MiTM attacks to inject ads like many ISPs have talked about. But “free” stuff usually isn’t actually free in the long term even if it is now while it’s being tested. Usually just takes a sale to a large corporation for it to become less free even of the original intent wasn’t to do that.
