About

spwnr.io is a small, European web app hosting service built in spare time. Mostly for learning, experimentation and the joy/obsession of building things.

The idea behind spwnr is pretty simple: take a few reasonably priced servers in Europe, stick them together with Elixir, Docker, Traefik, a bunch of Ansible automation and other mostly open source tools, and see how far this can be taken towards a working, reliable, honest indie hosting platform while avoiding big tech and opaque administrations as much as possible.

If you want to follow the journey, I write about building this and other things over at qvarnstr0m-blog.spwnr.io . And if you’d like to try the service, help out, or just say Hi how are you, you can reach me at whodareswings@proton.me . Any kind of contributions or suggestions are welcome.
