Web-based PaaS for running 200+ open source applications on your own server.
Websoft9 is a self-hosted PaaS that lets you deploy and manage 200+ open source applications (WordPress, GitLab, Mattermost, and more) on a single server — no Kubernetes required.
Think of it as your own private app store: browse, one-click install, manage domains and SSL, back up data, all from a clean web console.
# Install on any Linux server with Docker
wget -O install.sh https://artifact.websoft9.com/websoft9/release/install.sh && sudo bash install.shThen open http://<server-ip>:9000 and follow the setup wizard.
