About

# A platform for people who run their own servers.

Coswarm is built by Kints. We wanted the ease of a hosted platform on machines we control, without running Kubernetes to get it, so we built it on Docker Swarm.

## **Your servers stay yours**

Coswarm runs where you put it. Your apps, your data and your logs do not pass through us, and the panel keeps working if we disappear.

## **Simple underneath**

Swarm is a few concepts deep. We would rather add a good panel on top of something simple than hide something complicated.

## **Ask before acting**

Whether it is a colleague or Cosmo, a change to production should be seen, understood and approved. The panel is built that way.

## **Say what it does**

This site lists what Coswarm does today. Plans are plans until they ship.

## **Talk to us**

Questions, ideas, a bug, or Coswarm for your organisation.

## Your servers are waiting.

One command, a minute or so, and the panel is on your domain. Free, and yours to keep.

$`curl -fsSL https://coswarm.dev/install.sh | bash`
