Localhost Live Cloud

Localhost Live Cloud is an open-source web hosting platform designed to transform spare computers into cloud infrastructure, enabling anyone to host their creations. This application relies heavily on Linux-based operating systems.

The platform uses React for the frontend and Rust's Actix Web for the backend. Cloudflared is used as the DNS provider, offering users a public domain free of cost. Each user gets their own container, similar to AWS, allowing multiple computers to work together as a distributed cloud.

Project Goal

The aim of this project is to connect old, unused computers and create a collaborative cloud environment.
