KibanOS

Open source self-hosting

Your infrastructure. Simplified.

BETA

KibanOS lets you deploy and manage self-hosted services from your own server, without turning every app into an infrastructure project.

Self-hosting shouldn't mean managing everything yourself.

Getting a self-hosted stack running usually means stitching together Docker Compose files, networks, environment variables, volumes, updates, and dependencies. It works, but it takes time and attention that could be spent elsewhere.

Docker ComposeNetworkingEnvironment variablesVolumesUpdatesDependencies

One place for your self-hosted stack.

KibanOS provides a unified interface for deploying and managing self-hosted services, with Docker and Compose as the foundation underneath.

Simple

Install and manage services without starting from scratch every time. KibanOS handles the repetitive setup so you can focus on using the tools.

Open

Built on open technologies and Docker Compose. No proprietary runtime. No hidden abstractions. Your stack stays portable.

Yours

Your servers. Your data. Your infrastructure. KibanOS runs where you want and keeps you in control of every service.

The system

One control layer for the whole self-hosted stack.

From choosing a service to keeping it updated, KibanOS turns the repetitive parts of Docker-based self-hosting into a clear workflow without hiding the underlying infrastructure.

01

Choose

Pick a service

Select an app from the KibanOS catalog instead of starting from a blank Compose file.

02

Configure

Set the few things that matter

Ports, local URLs, volumes, environment values, and dependencies are presented in one guided setup.

03

Compose

Generate a portable stack

KibanOS keeps Docker and Compose underneath, so the result remains readable and movable.

04

Run

Start it on your server

Services run on your own Linux machine, connected through isolated networks and persistent volumes.

05

Operate

Start using it

KibanOS keeps status, logs, health, access points, and service controls in one place.

Where it runs

Your server. Your rules.

KibanOS is designed for infrastructure you own or rent directly. No managed cloud is required to keep the control plane alive.

01

VPS or dedicated server

Bring a Linux box from Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, OVH, Linode, or any provider you already trust.

  • Provider independent
  • Keeps data on your machine
  • Good for public services
02

Homelab and local hardware

Run the stack on a mini PC, NAS, Raspberry Pi, or an old machine you control at home.

  • Local-first services
  • No subscription required
  • Works with small setups
03

Existing Docker hosts

Use KibanOS as a calmer operating layer for services that should remain plain containers underneath.

  • Docker-based foundation
  • Readable Compose model
  • No proprietary runtime

How it works.

No complex setup. No hidden configuration. From a fresh server to a running stack in minutes.

01

Install

KibanOS sets up the core environment and leaves the rest of your system untouched.

curl -fsSL https://get.kibanos.com | sh
02

Create a project

Organize your services into projects. Add environments to isolate development, staging, or production stacks.

Project → Environment
03

Pick a service

KibanOS wires up Docker Compose, networks, volumes, and environment variables for you.

Catalog → Review → Install
04

Manage

Start, stop, restart, and inspect Kiban from the CLI. Your data stays on your server.

Product roadmap

Services today. Infrastructure control next.

KibanOS starts with self-hosted service management, then expands into the pieces that make running your own infrastructure practical: CLI, secrets, domains, backups, notifications, applications, Git, and plugins.

NowAvailable

Self-hosted services

KibanOS already focuses on the core self-hosting workflow: choose a service, install it, access it, and operate it from one place.

  • 100+ service catalog
  • Kiban CLI
  • Projects and environments
  • Start, stop, restart, delete
  • Logs, health, terminal, access points
NextPlanned

Infrastructure controls

After the first release, KibanOS expands into the operational pieces every self-hosted stack eventually needs.

  • Variables and secrets
  • Custom domains and HTTPS
  • Backups and restore
  • Notifications
  • Application deployments
  • Git integration
LaterPlanned

Applications and plugins

The long-term direction is a complete control layer for self-hosted infrastructure, without becoming a cloud provider or Kubernetes distribution.

  • Rollback workflow
  • Plugin system
  • Application stacks marketplace
  • Multi-server management

100+ services ready to deploy.

A catalog organized into 30 categories. Databases, AI, monitoring, productivity, media, and everything in between.

Straight comparison

Where KibanOS fits.

It sits between fully manual self-hosting and managed platforms: more structure than raw Docker, more ownership than a cloud dashboard.

Where it runs
KibanOSOn your own Linux server, VPS, homelab, or dedicated machine.
Manual DockerAnywhere Docker runs, but you assemble the operating layer yourself.
Managed cloudInside the provider’s cloud or control plane.
Configuration model
KibanOSGuided service setup with Docker and Compose still visible underneath.
Manual DockerHand-written Compose files, notes, scripts, and provider docs.
Managed cloudDashboard settings that are often tied to the vendor.
Service catalog
KibanOS100+ self-hosted apps organized behind one workflow.
Manual DockerEvery service has its own README, defaults, and upgrade path.
Managed cloudLimited to the services the platform chooses to expose.
Control and lock-in
KibanOSPlain containers on infrastructure you control.
Manual DockerMaximum control, but more maintenance burden.
Managed cloudConvenient, but workloads and data flow through someone else’s system.

KibanOS is not a cloud provider, a managed hosting platform, or a Kubernetes distribution. It is a tool that simplifies the infrastructure you already control.
