What is Castopod?
Host Castopod yourself: self-hosted application that stays on your infrastructure. One-click deploy on Hostwares with SSL, backups and scaling when you need it. Self-hosting Castopod on Hostwares gives you a private instance on dedicated resources — CPU, RAM and NVMe you chose — with automatic HTTPS, backups and scaling when you need it. Unlike SaaS, your data stays on infrastructure you control.

What you get with managed Castopod
Every Castopod instance includes the Hostwares platform — not just the container.
One-click deploy
Castopod is provisioned, configured and started for you. No compose file to write, no ports to wire up — Hostwares pulls the castopod image and wires storage.
SSL included
Every Castopod deployment gets HTTPS automatically, on a free hostwares.app subdomain or your own domain with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt.
Dedicated resources
Castopod runs on the CPU, RAM and SSD of the pack you pick — not squeezed onto a shared box with everyone else. Resize when you need more.
Full container access
It is your container: exec into Castopod, read files, tail logs and set environment variables whenever you need to.
Status and logs
Start, stop and restart Castopod from the dashboard and read real container logs when something misbehaves.
Managed by HW
Ask our AI to deploy Castopod, change its settings or debug it — from the dashboard, the CLI, or Claude and Cursor over MCP.
