One server. Every app. Everyone you share it with.

Cresdock turns any Linux server into a multi-user app platform — Nextcloud, Jellyfin, torrent & *arr automation, VPN, and 48 one-click apps. Each person gets their own private, isolated workspace. No Docker, no YAML, no Linux degree. It's a management engine, not a host: your server, your data, your control.

A modern alternative to Cloudron, CasaOS and Quickbox — one panel for apps, media, and multi-tenant self-hosting on hardware you own.

Self-hosting shouldn't require a Linux degree.

Most ways to get there ask a lot before you get anything working.

✕
Piece it together yourself
Hand-write Docker Compose files, dig through wikis, hope the reverse proxy config doesn't break something.
✕
Ask a friend who "knows Linux"
It works — until they're busy, move on, or you need to change something yourself.
✕
Settle for a closed platform
Less setup, but you don't own the apps, the data, or the customization.

Cresdock
One panel installs and connects everything for you — no YAML, no manual networking, no reverse proxy to wire up by hand.

How it works

01
Get a server
Any Linux box — a cheap VPS or hardware you already own. That's the only prerequisite.
02
Run one command
The installer sets up the whole panel for you — no Docker or Linux experience needed.
03
Point and deploy apps
Cloud drive, media server, automation, VPN — pick what you want from the 48-app catalog and click deploy. That's it, you're live.
04
Invite people later, if you want
Optional: family, friends, or paying users can each get their own isolated workspace whenever you're ready.

Everything an app panel should do

Fast to set up on your own server. Ready to grow to family, friends or customers whenever you are.

Point, click, deploy
Pick an app from the catalog and the panel handles the rest — container, networking, and credentials, live in seconds. No terminal, no Docker Compose, no config files to edit.
Up and running in minutes
One command installs the panel. From there, everything else is a click — most people are streaming or downloading the same day.
Encrypted VPN on every workspace
WireGuard and OpenVPN come built in — traffic can route through an encrypted tunnel, keeping transfers private and your home IP hidden.
A real, growing app catalog
48 apps live today — cloud & files, media servers, downloads & *arr automation, VPN, and everyday tools, all pre-wired with shared credentials.
Self-healing platform
A crashed container, failed install, or memory pressure is caught and recovered automatically — you hear about it after it's handled, not from a ticket.
Real admin controls
Per-user disk, RAM, CPU and bandwidth caps, live monitoring, and one-click updates with rollback.
Multiple users, when you want them
Optional: invite family, friends, or paying users. Each gets their own private, encrypted workspace with single sign-on — nobody sees anyone else's stuff.
Licensing that respects you
Free forever for one user. Pro unlocks unlimited invited users. Degrades gracefully — never bricks your box.

48 apps, pre-wired — media stack included

Point, click, deploy — every app seeds its own API key, login and web address on install, authenticated through your panel login, and your Nextcloud, Jellyfin and VPN come up wired and ready. See what's automated per app on our app pages. Here's a selection of the catalog:

Torrent clients (qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, ruTorrent), SABnzbd usenet, *arr automation (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Jackett), streaming media servers (Jellyfin, Emby, Audiobookshelf), Navidrome & Komga libraries, WireGuard & OpenVPN, File Browser, rclone cloud sync, SFTPGo FTPS and more.

Your server. Your data. Our engine.

Cresdock never hosts, sees, or touches your files — it's a management layer running entirely on hardware you own and control. Every workspace routes through its own isolated network, and your files stay yours.

Encrypted VPN, built into every workspace

WireGuard and OpenVPN ship with the panel — every user can route their own traffic through an encrypted tunnel. Nothing transfers in the clear, and no one else on the server ever sees it.

✓Per-user VPN keys, generated automatically
✓All inter-app traffic stays on a private, isolated network
✓Your real IP and home network are never exposed
Your files, untouchable by design
✓ Installs and updates only ever touch app configuration — never your downloads or media folders.
✓ Closing a workspace isn't instant deletion — data moves to a recycle bin with a retention window.
✓ Only official or vendor-maintained Docker images are used — no unverified third-party images.
✓ Every interactive session is auditable, with automatic detection of container-escape attempts.
✓ Optional two-factor authentication (TOTP) with recovery codes protects the panel itself.

Simple licensing, for one person, a household, or a customer base

A license you own — not a per-seat toll. Free forever for one user; Pro unlocks unlimited invited users, and you can sell workspaces with the built-in WHMCS/Blesta modules.

Frequently asked questions

No. Cresdock installs with one command and every app after that is a one-click install through the panel. There's no terminal, YAML, or Docker knowledge required day-to-day.
Less than most people expect. Every release is signed and updates itself, rolling back automatically if an update leaves the panel unhealthy. Turn on the opt-in self-healing option and many problems are caught and often fixed before you'd notice them. More on how this works →
No. Cresdock is self-hosted, licensed software — a management engine that installs onto your own server. We never host your files, see your data, or run anything on your behalf.
Yes. Any Linux box works — a budget VPS, a dedicated server, or hardware you already own at home. The installer handles the rest.
Yes — that's the core of Cresdock. Pro gives everyone their own private, isolated workspace with their own apps, quotas and VPN. Invite family and friends, or sell workspaces with the built-in WHMCS and Blesta modules.
The license binds to your server's IP to prevent sharing, but moving is easy — contact support and we'll clear the binding right away. It rebinds automatically the next time your new server checks in.
Yes — annual billing will get a discount once it's available. Right now we're on launch pricing (monthly only, already 50% off Pro), and annual arrives post-launch.
Home-server panels like CasaOS and Umbrel are built for one person; Cloudron is multi-user but business-priced per user; Quickbox and Swizzin are command-line seedbox scripts. Cresdock is a multi-user app panel — everyone gets their own isolated, quota'd workspace of one-click apps — with a license you own (free for one user) and the deepest media & seedbox catalog of any of them.

Your apps, your server, your rules.
