ostim.dev is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution that allows users to deploy and run containerized applications without managing servers or Kubernetes infrastructure.
Hostim.dev belongs to the Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Cloud Hosting software categories. It is designed for developers and small teams who want to run applications packaged as Docker containers with minimal operational overhead. The platform focuses on providing a controlled runtime environment while abstracting away infrastructure management tasks such as server provisioning, networking, and SSL configuration.
Users can deploy applications either from existing Docker images or directly from Git repositories. When deploying from Git, the platform builds the application and runs it as a container. Each application runs in isolation with configurable CPU and memory limits. Scaling is handled by adjusting resource plans or replica counts, without requiring users to interact directly with orchestration tools.
Hostim.dev provides managed backend services that can be attached to applications within a project. These services include:
- PostgreSQL databases
- MySQL databases
- Redis instances
- Persistent storage volumes
All services are created per project and communicate with applications through a private internal network. Connection details such as hostnames, ports, and credentials are automatically exposed to applications using environment variables, allowing applications to connect without manual configuration of networking or secrets.
The platform includes operational features commonly required for running production or development workloads, including:
- Automatic HTTPS using managed certificates
- Support for custom domains
- Centralized application logs
- Basic resource metrics such as CPU and memory usage
For secure operational access, each project includes a private SSH bastion container. This bastion allows users to connect to internal services, inspect persistent volumes, and perform tasks such as database imports or exports without exposing databases or storage services to the public internet.
Hostim.dev is hosted in the European Union and is intended for use cases such as:
- Hosting small to medium-sized web applications and APIs
- Running side projects and internal tools
- Deploying open-source applications
- Prototyping and staging environments
The platform emphasizes predictable configuration, isolation between projects, and a simplified deployment workflow for container-based applications.
