1-Click Apps Available Now
n8n: Powerful Workflow Automation
n8n makes it easy to automate tasks and connect applications through a visual interface. The 1-click deployment eliminates the usual setup work, giving users a ready-to-use automation platform for APIs, notifications, data flows, and integrations.
Nextcloud: Secure, Private Cloud Storage
Nextcloud offers file sharing, document collaboration, photo backup, and productivity tools, all hosted on your own server. The 1-click app handles the heavy lifting so users can immediately start building a private cloud for personal or team use.
WireGuard: Fast and Modern VPN
WireGuard provides high-performance encryption for secure networking. With one click, users can deploy a VPN server to protect internal communication, connect remote teams, or create private tunnels for applications and services.
GitLab: Complete DevOps Platform
GitLab provides a fully integrated environment for source code management, CI/CD pipelines, and team collaboration. With the 1-click installer, developers can instantly launch a self-hosted GitLab instance and maintain full control over repositories, runners, and project data.
Why This Matters
By adding these four popular open-source applications, Contabo continues to make self-hosting simpler and more accessible. The new 1-click installers reduce setup time, lower the technical barrier, and allow users to focus on building and managing their services instead of configuring infrastructure.
