The original idea was that since the systems you listed usually cost quite a bit of money to run, these would primarily be run in an enterprise context. I don't think I could afford hosting a managed kubernetes cluster and multiple decent servers in Amazon or Azure for personal use.

The Yubikey security argument is fair though, I will reconsider that.

The number of machines detection has been on my TODO list for a while, but it's a little bit tricky to implement with the current implementation.




This is a challenging thing to get right. It's interesting seeing your back and forth with the other commenters on here.


I think you're good wrt the AWS/EKS cloud stuff fwiw. You'll always have beggars coming.

If the user can afford the enterprise costs of those, they can certainly afford paying for xpipe?

Discount for individuals actually managing their own infra sounds like a reasonable place to draw the line.

Probably a lot of shadow IT around where the employer pays for all the big cloud stuff and employees either can't or won't bother getting the software side of their work tools paid for.

(As for me, I'm one of those annoying FLOSS maximalists so I won't be interested without the source under a reasonable license and I'm able to compile it locally without spending a week spelunking in undocumented build scripts. But hey, I wish you the best and don't be afraid to charge properly. It's easier to lower prices than raise them if you catch my drift)
