# Coswarm

> Coswarm is a free-to-self-host, Docker Swarm–based private Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). It delivers container orchestration — zero-downtime deploys, an edge proxy with automatic HTTPS and a WAF, an in-browser database manager, scheduled backups, observability, RBAC, and a 74-app marketplace — without the complexity of Kubernetes. Install on any Linux host with a single command and manage everything from a web UI on your own domain.

Coswarm is built by Kints. It combines a Go core engine, a smart reverse proxy (Coraza WAF + Let's Encrypt), a PostgreSQL data layer with automated backups, and worker nodes — all over an encrypted Docker Swarm overlay network. Self-hosting is free; paid plans add support and enterprise features.

## Install

- [Quick install](https://coswarm.dev/#install): `curl -fsSL https://coswarm.dev/install.sh | bash` — requires root and Docker on a Linux host.
