What is Libre.sh?
Libre.sh is an open source platform that provides free cloud hosting for open source web applications. It was created with the goal of making it easy for anyone to deploy open source software without needing to manage their own servers.
Some key features of Libre.sh include:
- Free hosting for open source apps
- Easy deployment using Git
- Support for technologies like Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Java, and more
- HTTPS encryption
- Custom domains
- Database services
- Automatic scaling and load balancing
- Access to detailed metrics for your app
The platform runs on top of DigitalOcean infrastructure, with all hosting costs covered by community funding and donations. Everything is managed through Docker containers for efficient resource usage.
Libre.sh aims to promote open source software by removing many of the obstacles that prevent wider adoption. It allows developers to focus on building great apps rather than worrying about infrastructure and operations.
