SwiftWave
SwiftWave is an open-source, lightweight Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) designed for self-hosting applications on minimal hardware, such as a 1GB RAM server or a Raspberry Pi. It automates Docker configuration, manages TCP/UDP ingress, and handles domain and SSL management, enabling deployment from Git repositories, Docker images, or local folders. The platform includes an integrated app store for one-click deployments and supports scaling from standalone single-server setups to multi-server clusters.

Problem
Self-hosting applications typically requires complex orchestration tools that are resource-intensive and difficult to configure, especially for individuals or small teams with limited infrastructure. Existing PaaS solutions often demand significant memory and CPU, making them impractical for small servers or edge devices like Raspberry Pis.
Solution
SwiftWave provides a simple, lightweight PaaS that runs efficiently on minimal hardware, such as a 1GB RAM, 1vCPU server, while supporting multiple applications. It automates Docker configuration, manages TCP/UDP ingress, and handles domain and SSL management, reducing operational overhead. Users can deploy from Git repositories, Docker images, or local folders, and the platform includes an integrated app store for one-click deployments. SwiftWave also offers persistent volume backup and restore, console access, and resource monitoring, all through a user-friendly dashboard and CLI. The platform is designed to scale from standalone single-server setups to multi-server cluster environments.
Target Audience
Primary users are developers, homelab enthusiasts, and small businesses seeking a self-hosted, resource-efficient PaaS for deploying applications on bare metal, VPS, or edge devices like Raspberry Pi.
