QuickStack

QuickStack is a open source self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed to simplify the management of containerized applications on Virtual Private Server (VPS) infrastructures. Developed as part of a student project at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, QuickStack provides a scalable and cost-effective alternative to commercial cloud PaaS offerings like Vercel, Digital Ocean App Platform or Azure App Service.

Key Features

• Simple Installation: Deploy QuickStack on a VPS with a single command.
• Git Integration: Deploy applications directly from public or private Git repositories.
• Live Logging: Debug running containers with live log streams.
• Web Terminal: Access a web-based terminal directly within the container for debugging.
• SSL Certificate Management: Automatic SSL certificate generation via Let's Encrypt.
• Resource Management: Set resource limits (CPU, RAM, storage) for each application.
• Monitoring Dashboard: Track resource consumption and application performance.
• Persistent Storage: Cluster-wide persistent storage volumes for applications using Longhorn.
• Cluster Support: Scale applications across multiple VPS nodes using Kubernetes.
