# Hostforge 🔥
Hostforge takes the complexity out of hosting your applications on your servers. It offers a simple and intuitive, yet powerful interface built on top of Docker Swarm.
# THIS APP IS IN DEVELOPMENT. DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION, MANY FEATURES ARE MISSING OR INCOMPLETE

## Features
- **Simple** - With the power of Nixpacks, you don't even need to write a Dockerfile. Just point Hostforge to your git repository and it will build your image and deploy it for you.
- **Secure** - Hostforge is built with security in mind. All projects use their own network and are isolated from each other.
- **Automated** - Hostforge can watch for changes in your git repository and automatically update your application when you push a commit.
- **Scalable** - Hostforge is built on top of Docker Swarm, which means you can scale your application with a single click.
- note: the Hostforge web-panel cannot be scaled to multiple instances, but your applications can.
## Motivation
I've been using Portainer for quite a while, but I found it to be cumbersome to have to write out my own compose files. Constantly googling to find the right keys and values to use. I wanted something that would allow me to create a service with a few clicks and have it up and running in seconds.
I also wanted something that could automatically build my images from a git repository so I didn't have to fiddle around with CI/CD pipelines. I wanted to be able to push a commit to my repository and have my application automatically update.
And so, that's when I started working on Hostforge -- my largest open source project to date.
## Donate
That being said, this project has taken me a lot of time and effort to build. If it manages to save you some time and effort, please consider donating to help me keep this project alive.
