Overview

Lowdefy is an open source, config first low code web stack for building internal tools, admin panels, CRUD interfaces, dashboards and business applications. You describe an application in a single declarative configuration file, its pages, a rich library of UI blocks, data connections and requests, and the logic that ties them together through an operator and event system, and Lowdefy compiles that configuration into a production web application. Because the whole application is reviewable, version controllable text rather than hand written frontend code, teams ship internal software quickly and consistently, and the same configuration is easy to generate, diff and audit.

Why the cloudimg image

Lowdefy has no built in login, so a bare deployment is a liability. cloudimg makes it secure by default: the application server binds to loopback only and is fronted by nginx with HTTP basic authentication, and on first boot every instance generates its own administrator password and its own application signing secret and writes them to a file only the root user can read, so no default credential is ever reachable and no two instances share one. The image is hardened and fully patched, serves the official Lowdefy starter application so a live low code server is usable the moment it boots, and is ready for your own configuration. Every instance ships with a paired deployment guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.
