What is AnyAppStart?
AnyAppStart is a lightweight control panel for managing services across Docker, systemd, virtual machines, and remote hosts over SSH. The backend uses Go, the frontend React with TypeScript. Services are defined in YAML files without a database. The web UI defaults to port 8855 and offers Bootswatch themes with a dark mode toggle. No built-in authentication exists; the docs recommend a firewall or SSO such as Authelia or ForAuth. A REST API enables programmatic control. You can run it via Docker, Docker Compose, pre-built binaries for many CPU architectures, or systemd units. The project is MIT-licensed and sees regular releases.
Should you self-host AnyAppStart?
AnyAppStart scores 42/100 on selfhost.directory (how scoring works) and ranks #13 of 20 in Application Management. It has 213 GitHub stars.
There was no stable release in the past 12 months, so check the repository's recent activity before you rely on it.
Setup is moderate: expect some configuration beyond a single command. An official Docker image is available. It is MIT-licensed and written mostly in Typescript.
Its closest alternative on selfhost.directory is hot-updater (62/100, 1 797 stars). It scores higher overall, so compare the two before you pick. See AnyAppStart vs hot-updater side by side.
