That’s why glueh-wyy-huet (https://github.com/glueh-wyy-huet) and I (https://github.com/biersoeckli) built QuickStack during our bachelor studies at Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences. QuickStack simplifies deployment by letting you deploy directly from a Git repo or Docker registry to any VPS. It’s free, open source, and installs with a single command on your VPS.
Unlike great tools like CapRover, Easypanel or Coolify, QuickStack is built on lightweight Kubernetes (k3s) and uses Longhorn for distributed storage, enabling multi-VPS clusters managed through a single UI. Persistent app volumes are distributed across the cluster automatically.
Features include Git deploys, live logs, web-terminal, SSL cert generation, backups, monitoring, and single-VPS setups for smaller needs.
We’d love your feedback. Check it out on https://quickstack.dev and have fun deploying with QuickStack!
