## What it is
Websoft9 is a self-hosted, web-based PaaS and server panel for deploying and managing 300+ open source applications on a single Linux server via Docker. It provides an app-store style console with one-click installs, domain/SSL management, backups, monitoring, and multi-user lifecycle management without requiring Kubernetes.

## Use cases
- self-host open source apps on my own server with a web panel
- one-click deploy WordPress, GitLab, Mattermost on a VPS
- manage domains and SSL certificates for self-hosted apps
- run multiple isolated apps on one server without Kubernetes
- back up and monitor my self-hosted applications
- give my team a private app store for business tools
- deploy open source software on Azure, AWS, or Alibaba Cloud

## When to choose
- you want a simple GUI to run many open source apps on one Linux server
- you lack Kubernetes expertise but want containerized app deployment
- you need automated SSL, domains, backups, and monitoring for self-hosted apps
- you want cloud marketplace images with commercial support options

## When to avoid
- you need full Kubernetes orchestration or multi-server clustering today
- you only deploy custom microservices and prefer raw Docker or a full PaaS like Dokku
- you require permissive licensing for redistribution (license is non-standard)
- you need more than the free tier's 2 apps without paying
