Sandstorm is a self-hostable web productivity suite implemented as a security-hardened web app package manager. It lets users install and run open source web apps (documents, spreadsheets, chat, file storage, etc.) in per-grain sandboxes with unified access control.

Use cases

  • self-host web apps on my own server
  • run open source web apps securely without managing each one
  • install web apps as easily as phone apps
  • sandbox untrusted web applications on a server
  • share documents and files with fine-grained access control
  • give a small team single sign-on across self-hosted apps
  • keep my data out of SaaS clouds

When to choose

  • you want a one-click app-store experience for self-hosting many web apps
  • strong per-app sandboxing and unified access control are priorities
  • you want non-technical users to run their own server instances

When to avoid

  • you only need to run one or two specific apps, which are simpler to deploy directly
  • you need apps that don't fit Sandstorm's packaging model
  • you don't run an x86-64 Linux server
