Run your own apps on a machine that is yours alone.
Bring an app you have already built, give it a name, and it comes up on a web address of its own with a certificate already on it.
kpanel.kapsulehost.comA worked example on a Cluster host. Your own apps and addresses take their place.
Whatever you are building or trying out.
One machine holds a whole mixture of things at once, and the people who buy one fill it. Here are the four we see most.
The tools your team uses every day
Dashboards, a wiki, a status board, a form that collects something. Small useful things that deserve a home of their own and a proper address to go with it.
The apps behind your product
The pieces your product is actually made of, each on its own address, each restartable on its own, all on one machine you can see at a glance.
A copy to try things on first
Put the next version up beside the current one, give it its own address, show it to somebody, and swap them over when you are happy.
The work that runs in the background
Imports, reports, tidying up, anything that runs on its own schedule. It sits on the same machine as everything else and you can watch it work.
Four things to fill in, and it is live.
Putting an app up is a short form in the panel. You fill in four things, and the app comes up on its own address with a certificate already on it.
Point us at your app
Name the app you have already built. We fetch it and run it as it is, which is also why an app that runs somewhere else runs here unchanged.
Give it a name
Whatever you call it among yourselves. That is what it will be called on the screen that lists everything running.
Choose its address
Pick the word it answers on, and that becomes its web address under your host. The certificate is issued and renewed for you.
Add its settings
The values your app needs when it starts, and a limit on how much of the machine it may take if you want one. Both can be changed later.
Good questions, answered.
Ways To Reach UsIt is for running software you have already built. A website builder gives you a website; this gives you a machine to run your own applications on, each one with its own web address, all on one server that belongs to your account. People use it for the tools their team uses, for the parts their product is made of, for a copy of something to try changes on, and for work that runs on a schedule.
Yes. We run the app you already have, exactly as it is, so an app running on another platform today comes across unchanged. In practice you tell us where it is, what to call it, what address it answers on, and what settings it needs.
In a database or in storage that lives outside the app itself, which is how every platform of this kind is built. That is what makes putting a new version up completely safe: the new one starts fresh and your data is exactly where you left it. Your machine's disk is there for the apps themselves and for anything you want to keep beside them.
Five on Pod, twenty on Cluster and a hundred on Fleet. That is the number of apps, and the machine sizes above tell you how much processor, memory and disk they share between them.
Any time, from the panel. You pick the larger machine and your apps go across to it with their names and their addresses intact.
