Looking for feedback on Docker Compose hosting (no signup trial)

I've been building Hostim.dev -- a bare-metal PaaS where you can deploy apps from Docker, Git, or Docker Compose.

The part I'd love feedback on right now is the Docker Compose flow:

  • You paste a docker-compose.yml
  • The platform parses it into apps + databases + volumes
  • Everything runs in an isolated project with HTTPS, metrics, and logs out of the box

I just added authless trials, so you can try it without even registering:
👉 https://hostim.dev
"Try It Yourself" button will lead you to temporary project which you can deploy to without signup.

What I'd love to hear:

  • Does your Compose file work as expected?
  • Anything confusing or missing in the flow?
  • Would this replace how you currently run Compose apps (VPS, scripts, etc.)?

I'm bootstrapping this solo, so any early feedback helps me prioritize.

Thanks!

    The website is not going through here, what's going on?

      Not sure what you mean. But just in case I changed the link from leading directly to "try it out" to the homepage. On the homepage there is a button "Try it yourself" and you can try without signup.

      There is a captcha from cloudflare, maybe that one is blocking you? Idk, describe please a bit more what you mean

    This looks really clean. I like you added authless trials , it make easy to test quickly.
