Apps overview
One-click open-source apps on OpenHost — password vaults, newsletters, automation, deployment platforms, and more.
Every OpenHost plan includes access to our one-click app installer. Choose an app, pick a domain, and deploy — we handle SSL, isolation, daily off-site backups, and security patching automatically.
How it works
Choose an app
Open the App installer in your control panel and pick from the catalog. Each app runs in its own isolated container — one app can never affect another.
Set a domain
Assign a domain or subdomain (e.g.
vault.yourdomain.com). A free auto-renewing SSL certificate is issued automatically once DNS resolves.Deploy
Click install. Most apps provision in under two minutes. You'll see admin credentials in the panel or receive them by email.
What's included with every install
| Feature | Details |

| SSL | Free auto-renewing certificate via Let's Encrypt |
| Isolation | Each app runs in a rootless container with its own filesystem |
| Backups | Daily off-site snapshots with one-click restore |
| Updates | Platform-level security patches applied automatically |
| Resources | Dedicated CPU, RAM, and NVMe allocation per plan tier |

Choosing the right plan
| App | Minimum plan | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Vaultwarden | Password Vault (₪29) | Password Vault Plus (₪49) for larger teams |
| Listmonk | Newsletter (₪29) | Newsletter Plus (₪59) for high-volume sending |
| Activepieces | Automation (₪59) | Automation Plus (₪99) for complex flows |

VPS plans also work — you get full root access and can run any app in the catalog with custom resource tuning.
Bring your own SMTP
Apps that send email (Listmonk, Vaultwarden invites, Activepieces notifications) need an SMTP provider. We don't send bulk mail from the hosting server to protect your domain reputation.
Recommended providers:
- Resend — simple API, generous free tier, great deliverability
- Amazon SES — cheapest at volume
- Postmark — best for transactional (order confirmations, password resets)
Configure SMTP credentials inside each app's settings after install.
