What is Grist?
Run your own Grist — self-hosted application built for teams that want control. One-click deploy on Hostwares with custom domains and managed storage. Self-hosting Grist 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 Grist
Every Grist instance includes the Hostwares platform — not just the container.
One-click deploy
Grist is provisioned, configured and started for you. No compose file to write, no ports to wire up — Hostwares pulls the grist image and wires storage.
SSL included
Every Grist deployment gets HTTPS automatically, on a free hostwares.app subdomain or your own domain with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt.
Dedicated resources
Grist 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 Grist, read files, tail logs and set environment variables whenever you need to.
Status and logs
Start, stop and restart Grist from the dashboard and read real container logs when something misbehaves.
Managed by HW
Ask our AI to deploy Grist, change its settings or debug it — from the dashboard, the CLI, or Claude and Cursor over MCP.
