One Dashboard. All Your Apps.
Deploy, stop, wake, and manage everything from a clean web UI — or skip it entirely and use the CLI.
✨ New — Try it out for demos & testing. Expect some rough edges.
Your server, your rules — no per-app fees, no deleting projects to save RAM.
Deploy as many apps as your disk holds. They sleep to zero when idle, wake on the first request. Perfect for demos, previews, and side projects.
LiteBin overhead: under 58MB.
Idle Memory Footprint
MEASURED* Sleep-state RAM only.
Built With
Low-memory runtime.
Async Docker API.
WAL-mode, low-memory persistence.
Dynamic edge proxy.
Zero-config builds.
Stop deleting your work to save $5. Just bin it.
Stop sending recruiters dead GitHub links. Host your entire project history. They click, the app wakes, and you look like a pro.
Portfolios & Resumes
ngrok works for 5 minutes. When you need a persistent URL for demos or client reviews, put it on a real server.
Demos & Testing
Got a 2 AM idea? Deploy the API instantly. If the idea flops, it costs nothing to keep it sitting in the bin "just in case."
Indie Hackers & Startups
"Like Serverless, but you own the metal. No per-app fees — just your VPS cost."
Zero-Waste Resource Management
Build images on your laptop or GitHub Actions. Stream the finished image to your server. Your VPS stays cool while you deploy.
The Janitor stops containers after inactivity (15m default, configurable). Deploy as many apps as your disk holds — they sleep when quiet, freeing RAM for the ones that matter.
Requests trigger the Waker. The proxy holds the TCP connection, boots the container, and serves traffic. Loading page shown instantly — no 502s.
The core feature — live on real LiteBin instances.
Container Lifecycle
Container stopped
0 MB in use
Waking your app…
Container is running and serving traffic.
No YAML. No CI config. No Dockerfile needed. Point the CLI at any directory and ship. Railpack auto-detects Node, Python, Go, PHP, and more.
Integrate LiteBin into any CI pipeline with a single deploy step. Store your token as a secret — no server access, no SSH keys, no registry.
L8B_TOKEN and L8B_SERVER as GitHub secretscurl step — trigger on push, merge, or any eventDeploy, stop, wake, and manage everything from a clean web UI — or skip it entirely and use the CLI.
Manage a fleet of cheap droplets from a single command center. LiteBin uses mTLS to secure communication between your Manager and Agents.

LiteBin thrives on tiny, high-value boxes.
These links earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Already have a spare box? Grab one from here too — connect them both. LiteBin doesn't care where your servers come from. Mix providers freely; each one gives you room for more apps.
Things I might build. No promises.
Develop client demos with L8B convenience. When done, detach the agent and leave only Docker running. Hand the server to your client — clean, zero dependencies.
