What it does

Free, open-source Docker hosting control panel for agencies and hosts. Modern alternative to Plesk and cPanel with no license fees.

Run Docker apps, databases, domains, backups, and governed automation from one open-source panel, CLI, API, assistant, and MCP server.

Deploy Docker applications, databases, domains, certificates, backups, and scheduled jobs from one panel, CLI, API, assistant, or MCP server. Connect servers into a fleet and preview risky changes before they run. Isolated, persistent deployments from one interface, every config a plain file on your own machine. No per-site fees, no vendor lock-in, full data sovereignty. Run your product on infrastructure you own. Ship from CI with standard Docker Compose, scale across nodes, and keep full API control as you grow. Standardize how internal apps get deployed. Full API and CLI automation, role-based access, and complete data sovereignty on your own hardware. Run every client site from one…from flatrun.dev

    ohai! I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers. It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon. If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide. In any event, have a nice day! =)

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
