About Cloud Seeder
Cloud Seeder by IPv6rs is a one-click server appliance wizard, distributed through a GitHub repository. It provides a graphical interface for setting up self-hosted internet appliances on a home computer, deploying them as isolated containers (described as "fat containers") using Podman under the hood. The project says it grew out of research into why people who want to self-host often fail at manual multi-step server setup.
