Just got an email thanking me for being a 5-node/free user, but Portainer isn’t free and I need to stop being a cheap-ass and pay them because blah blah economic times enshittification blah blah blah.

I’ve moved off them a while ago, but figured I’d see if they emailed EVERYONE about this?

A good time to ditch them if you haven’t, I suppose.

    Yes, I got it too. $ 149/yr for a “home and student” noncommercial license? No thanks.

    But for businesses, the pricing seems fair.

      I didn’t even bother to look since, well, I just moved to compose files sitting in a folder instead but uh, $150? Seriously?

      That’d be the most expensive bit of all of my stacks, including hosting and power costs.

        At least for my personal use, I’m not willing to spend money on portainer. The free edition is fine.

          I‘m fine with paying because I‘m starting a business. But I‘m not fine with tracking the payments so I will donate a set percentage of my profits (once I have them) to an open source group, no idea which one yet. The rest is not my problem.

      I didn’t get the email and have the 5 node free business plan, but cant see the home/student price on the site. I guess it time to look at switching to dockge or something
