Applications

Start an app from your dashboard, build it on your appliance, publish it to the web with one click. qbit handles the tunnel, the TLS, and the routing — you keep the code and the data.

Access infrastructure, not a walled garden

qbit.me doesn't generate your app for you and it doesn't host your code on someone else's cloud. Instead it gives you a clean path from a project folder on your own appliance to a public HTTPS URL — and gets out of the way.

You own the project. You write the code. You build it on your appliance over SSH. When you're ready, qbit opens a secure reverse tunnel to qbit Cloud, terminates TLS at the edge, and serves your app from *.apps.qbit.me — or your own domain on a Business plan.

Your project. Your hardware. Your web address. qbit handles the connection, the security, and the routing. You build the app.

How it works

1. Start the app from your dashboard

From the Applications page in your qbit dashboard, create a new app and pick the qbit agent it will live on. qbit creates an Application record and a project folder on that appliance. No code is generated — you start from a clean placeholder.

2. Build it on your appliance

SSH into your appliance and build the app yourself in the project folder. Angular, React, a static site, a single HTML file — whatever you want. qbit serves the folder, so the project structure is your call. Test it locally on your LAN as you go.

3. Publish when you're ready

When you want the app reachable from anywhere, click Publish in your dashboard. Your appliance opens a secure WebSocket reverse tunnel to qbit Cloud, and you get a clean web address:

your-app.apps.qbit.me

No router changes. No separate hosting account. No late-night DNS confusion. It just works.

4. Use your own domain (optional)

On a Business plan, you can publish apps under your own web address, like app.yourdomain.com. You point your domain at qbit Cloud, we verify it's yours, and we keep the secure connection current automatically.
