Frequently Asked Questions

What is CloudBreak?

CloudBreak provides fully-managed, private hosting for the world's best open-source applications. We handle the servers, updates, and overall system maintenance so you can enjoy simple, tracker-free tools without needing advanced IT expertise, terminal layouts, or dedicated home hardware.

What applications are available on CloudBreak?

We host essential tools to help you reclaim your privacy across media consumption, currently categorized into three everyday suites:

• News: Algorithm-free newsfeed readers featuring FreshRSS and Miniflux.
• Bookmarks & Read-it-Later: Services to save, tag, and read articles with clutter-free layouts, including Linkding, Readeck, and Wallabag.
• Podcasts: Tracker-free show streaming and media cataloging featuring PinePods.

Do I retain ownership of my data?

Yes, absolutely. We host the software, but you maintain 100% data ownership. CloudBreak relies entirely on open software ecosystems. You can easily export your information at any time—such as an OPML file for RSS feeds or Netscape HTML format for bookmarks—and walk away whenever you want.

How long does setup take and what payment options are accepted?

Accounts are generally deployed soon after after subscription processing, though sometimes interruptions occur. We securely process subscription payments using credit cards via Stripe, and can set up PayPal billing upon special request through our support desk.

What kind of technical support do you provide?

Our core focus is delivering a high-uptime, ultra-reliable platform and ensuring all backend systems and application security updates remain current. While we do not provide detailed functional user guides or tutorials for operating the individual apps themselves, you can consult their official documentation guidelines or swap tips in our community forum.
