LibrePaaS

Introduction

A PaaS that is aimed at hosting free software \o/

To install it, follow instructions in INSTALL.md.

What is LibrePaaS

LibrePaaS is a little framework to host Docker. It is simple and modular and respect the convention over configuration paradigm.

This is aimed at Hosters to manage a huge amount of different web application, and a quantity of domain names related with emails and so on.

It is currently installed at 3 different hosters in production and hosting ~20 different web applications, with ~500 containers.

Once well installed, in one bash command, you'll be able to:

• buy a domain name
• configure DNS for it
• configure email for it
• configure dkim for that domain
• configure dmarc for that domain
• configure autoconfig for that domain
• install and start a web application on that domain (WordPress, Nextcloud, piwik...)
• provision a TLS cert on that domain

Amazing, right?
