In development. Not yet available.
Bring a machine, deploy your app, and it's live for your customers. No infrastructure to learn, no platform team to hire. grund handles the rest, from a homelab in the closet to a SaaS that pays the bills.
$ curl -fsSL grund.sh/install | sh -s -- --domain app.example.com
One command, run in your app's directory: grund installs itself and your app goes live. Not available yet; today it prints a notice and changes nothing. Read the script.
A container image or a Dockerfile. Something you found on GitHub, or the product you are building.
A mini PC, an old desktop, a server in the basement, or one you rent.
An address, HTTPS and a running app. That's the whole job.
Run every part of grund yourself, dashboard included. Our hosted services are optional.
Nothing to configure, nothing to learn. You deploy an application; grund makes it available to the people who use it.
Whatever you have. One box with an internet connection is enough to start.
One command turns the machine into a place your apps can live. Nothing else to set up.
$ curl -fsSL grund.sh/install | sh
✓ nuc is ready for apps
Give it an image or a Dockerfile and an address. It's live, with HTTPS, and it restarts itself if it falls over.
$ grund deploy . --domain app.example.com
✓ live at https://app.example.com
Outgrow one machine? Add another with grund add server and your apps spread across both. Nothing to redeploy, nothing to reconfigure.
Commands are illustrative. grund is in development and its interface may change.
The same three steps put a family photo library and a product with paying customers online.
One mini PC.
Three rented servers.
Example setups. grund is in development.
The parts every deployment ends up needing are simply there. You never assemble them.
Every app gets a working web address with HTTPS, even behind a home router. Bring your own domain, or let grund manage it.
Ship a new version. If it misbehaves, the previous one comes back.
Databases and files, backed up every night and restored when you ask.
See what your app is doing without wiring anything up.
Keys and passwords stay out of your code, and out of our hands.
Add one when you need it. Your apps spread out on their own.
grund runs where you put it. Nothing about your apps depends on us staying around, or on your hardware staying where it is.
Your apps and your customers' data never leave hardware you control.
From the closet to a rented server, or back. Point grund at the new machines and carry on.
grund is open source first. Run every part of it yourself, dashboard included. We never hold the keys to your machines.
Made for
Not what it promises
The cost, up front
Start on hardware you already own, for nothing but electricity.
When you want to rent, a few dedicated servers often cost a fraction of the cloud bill for the same app.
grund is free for your first machine, and a few euros a month for each one after. It is open source, so you can always run all of it self-hosted. See pricing
