What is Quantum?
Quantum is a self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service that gives you a web dashboard to deploy and manage applications on your own infrastructure. It handles GitHub repository deployments with automatic rebuilds on push, managed databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and Redis, one-click templates for popular apps like n8n, Directus, WordPress, Uptime Kuma, and Ollama, and Docker Compose stacks sourced from repositories or pasted directly. Each deployment provides container logs, shell access, environment variable management, persistent volumes, and metrics covering CPU, memory, network, and processes. You can also open any deployment in a browser-based VS Code instance powered by code-server. The system uses GitHub OAuth for repository access, supports private container registries, and organizes everything into multi-user organizations with role-based access. Quantum runs as three containers (API, web dashboard, PostgreSQL) via Docker Compose on a Linux host. The project is MIT-licensed and actively maintained.
