Websoft9 is a web-based PaaS and Linux panel for self-hosting open-source applications on a user’s own server. It is designed for running many web apps on a single machine instead of requiring a complex Kubernetes-first architecture. The platform provides a graphical interface for installing, managing, and operating more than 200 application templates. It combines application deployment with server administration tools, so users can manage files, containers, users, proxies, SSL, logs, storage, firewalls, and system services from one place. Websoft9 uses familiar technologies such as Docker, Docker Compose, Nginx, Cockpit, Kubernetes, and Swarm rather than introducing a completely new stack. It is useful for individuals, teams, and organizations that want lightweight self-hosting with DevOps-style controls and less manual configuration.
