Bolt is a powerful, open-source server software that empowers you to deploy and manage self-hosted servers in fully isolated sandboxed environments — quickly, securely, and with minimal overhead.
Bolt is designed for developers, sysadmins, and power users who want full control over their infrastructure without relying on third-party hosting. Whether you're spinning up game servers, development environments, or containerized services, Bolt gives you a flexible and secure foundation.
- 🧱 Sandboxed Environments: Every server runs in a fully-contained environment with strict process, memory, and file system isolation.
- 🚀 Fast Deployment: Launch new servers in seconds using templates and configuration presets.
- 🔒 Security First: Built with strong defaults and optional resource-limiting (CPU, RAM, networking, disk).
- 📡 CLI Interface: Manage your servers through a powerful CLI.
