Just the useful parts

Self-hosting, without the sprawl.

Local-first by design
Applications run in local Docker containers. Caddy is the web entry point when you choose to expose a service.
Small and modular
Start with the essentials and enable optional capabilities through independent feature flags.
You stay in control
Your server, repositories, Docker setup, and configuration remain understandable and under your control.
Cloudflare is optional
Use a local-only or LAN setup, public routing, or an outbound Cloudflare Tunnel when it suits your needs.
Safe-mode recovery
If a module or custom theme breaks the panel, start in safe mode: core only, built-in default theme, no background jobs.
Privacy first
The website has no trackers. Panel telemetry is anonymous, opt-in, and off by default.

From server to running app

How it works

  1. 01

    Install TinyDeploy and create your admin account.

  2. 02

    Add an application from an uploaded archive, a local Git repository, or GitHub.

  3. 03

    TinyDeploy builds and runs it in a local container.

  4. 04

    Choose a local hostname or configure public access when needed.

Try it when you're ready

One command to get started.

For supported Linux servers. Review the installer and project status before running it.

Early development: a stable release is not available yet, and features described in the roadmap may not be implemented. Check the documentation for current installation status.

Small by design

A focused path, not a feature race.

For one developer, one server, and a few personal apps. This plan stays focused on practical self-hosting—not enterprise teams, multi-server fleets, or feature count.
  1. Phase 01Completed
    Barebones core
    Establish the installer, platform detection, authentication, feature and module systems, and the core dashboard.
    • Core platform
    • Dashboard shell
    • Module system
    • Core recovery
    • Telemetry and privacy

  2. Phase 02Completed
    Application deployment
    Create applications from uploaded source, build with Docker, and run them as local-only containers. Prebuilt image deploy is deferred.
    • app_deployment
    • manual_upload
    • container_image_deploy

  3. Phase 03Completed
    Local routing
    Route applications through Caddy using local hostnames, without requiring public exposure.
    • local_hostnames

  4. Phase 04Completed
    Firewall
    Configure a supported firewall and make network exposure visible and safer by default.
    • firewall

  5. Phase 05Deferred
    File management
    Add safe file management for deployed application content.
    • file_editor

  6. Phase 06Completed
    Git deployment
    Deploy directly from Git repositories, with additional GitHub integration as an optional capability.
    • git_integration
    • github_integration

  7. Phase 07In progress
    Public exposure
    Allow selected applications to be exposed publicly through Caddy.
    • public_http

  8. Phase 08In progress
    Cloudflare Tunnel
    Offer Cloudflare Tunnel as an optional way to reach services without opening inbound ports, plus DuckDNS for a public name that points at the server.
    • cloudflare_tunnel
    • duckdns

  9. Phase 09Not started
    Updates and operations
    Add automatic updates alongside backup, restore, audit, upgrade, and rollback operations.
    • automatic_updates
    • backup and restore
    • audit log
    • upgrade and rollback

  10. Phase 10Not started
    Custom themes
    Support exporting, editing, uploading, and applying custom dashboard themes.

  11. Phase 11Not started
    Advanced and optional
    Consider advanced Caddy configuration, two-factor authentication, metrics, and ratings after the core is stable.
