Congrats for the launch, seems to have matured a bunch and Iroh gotten a bunch of neat additions since I last looked! You even managed to get 1.0 out the door before go-ipfs / Kubo ;)

> But to finance the development of it, we offer additional services to make it easier to deploy and run it, especially for larger or more specialized use caes.

Interesting (and somewhat proven) idea to finance it, smart :)

Did you guys started doing this already on a case-by-case basis and have some experience of it already, and if so what are the common things you typically help out with exactly? I'm just curious what sort of things a company who'd use a protocol like that might need help with, that they wouldn't have experience with in-house, since they're going down a P2P road already (assuming that, maybe maybe need help with greenfield projects)?

we have been doing this for a while now, you can find some of our highlights listed here https://www.iroh.computer/solutions

I think it would be clearer if you put the "Pricing" navbar link under "Services."

I don't mind paying for a subscription, as long as I'm not also paying for the privilege of being locked in to a specific vendor. If I pay for a subscription and then your prices quadruple or something, what are my options? Can I self-host a relay? Do I lose features if I do so?
reply
I'm not affiliated. From what I understand, they provide an open-source implementation of the relay server: https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh/tree/main/iroh-relay (which may or may not be what they actually run as part of their hosted offering).

If you use their offering, you probably get some kind of web interface for metrics that isn't open-source.

Correct

Yes you can self-host your relays. Forever! Please check out the docs & hosting pages more information:
