Why buyers choose CloFix Cloud

Important capabilities for companies, MSPs, and partners who sell cloud seats.

Deploy without a VPS

Library Quick Apps and Jobs & Functions ship apps without creating a FileVPS.

Quick Apps on VPS

Install catalog software into a running FileVPS when you need a full guest.

Docker Quick Apps

Deploy from Docker templates on the worker engine - separate from Library sandboxes.

Fast FileVPS

Create in tens of milliseconds. Guests are typically ready in about two seconds.

High density

Idle guests cost a few MB of host RAM, not hundreds - more seats per worker.

Protection Mode

New VPS start with read-only root so attackers cannot write the system tree.

Built-in WAF

OWASP CRS edge bindings for FileVPS and Docker - HTTP attack protection.

Partner resale

Partner → client hierarchy with IAM scopes, Users page, and per-client billing.

Minute billing

Due bill meters by the minute. Stopped VPS or database bills storage only.

Full stack console

Compute, storage, DNS, load balancers, CKS, and invoices in one login.

No RAM overcommit

Workers place work from live free CPU, RAM, and disk capacity.

Compute

FileVPS

OS-level Linux guests on enrolled workers. Shared Ubuntu 24.04 base with OverlayFS writable layer. CPU, RAM, swap, and PIDs enforced with cgroup v2.

  • Protection Mode On by default - guest root is read-only so attackers cannot write the system tree
  • SSH key, PAM password, or both - PEM download once at create
  • Private bridge 10.231.0.0/16; published SSH / HTTP / HTTPS ports
  • Scheduler places from live free capacity - no RAM overcommit

Quick App deploy - without VPS, on VPS, or Docker

CloFix Cloud gives three app-deploy paths. Pick the right one for each customer seat.

PathWhere it runsBest for
Library Quick Apps Managed sandbox - no FileVPS, no SSH box Ship HTML, PHP, Node, Next.js, WordPress, Adminer, Jenkins fast
VPS software Install into a running FileVPS Full guest with catalog packages (Protection Mode Off while installing)
Docker Quick Apps Worker-host Docker Engine templates Container apps separate from Library native sandboxes
  • Deploy your app without a VPS - Library Quick Apps use CloFix namespaces and cgroup v2, not a customer VPS
  • ZIP web deploys: static HTML, PHP, Node.js, Next.js, WordPress
  • Optional attach to an existing managed database
  • Open / login / start / stop / logs / data export / delete from Library
  • Docker Quick App templates are distinct from Library native Quick Apps

Jobs & Functions - run without a VPS

Deploy and run Python, Go, Node, PHP, Java, Ruby, Bun, or Deno without creating a FileVPS. Each run gets a fresh overlay, unprivileged UID, limits, and a private network.

  • Ideal for scripts, automation, and scheduled work
  • Workers advertise which runtimes they support

Docker Engine & Docker Quick Apps

Containers on the worker-host Docker Engine (admin opt-in). Tenants never receive docker.sock.

  • Docker Quick App templates - deploy apps on Docker without a FileVPS guest
  • Image wizard, Compose, Git build + webhook + digest rollback
  • Volume Backup & Restore for managed Docker volumes
  • Host ports 18000-21999 with FileVPS conflict checks

CKS - CloFix Kubernetes Service

EKS-style Kubernetes on dedicated CKS workers - not kubelet inside FileVPS.

  • Clusters, node pools with optional autoscaling, kubeconfig
  • Workloads, Helm, Ingress, HPA, NetworkPolicy, pod logs
  • Attach LB, FileVPS, volume, EFS, or S3; etcd backup / rolling upgrade
  • API stays on the worker - 6443 is not published publicly

Storage

Volumes, EFS, S3, and VPS backups

ProductUse whenAttach
VolumeOne VPS needs durable diskSame worker, 1:1
EFSShared web root across VPS / LBAny worker, many VPS
S3Objects and s3fs mountsCloFix pool or external gateway
VPS backupClone / recover writable layerNew FileVPS, same worker

Managed databases

MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis as isolated projects - not packages inside FileVPS.

  • TLS CA, encrypted backups (where implemented), schedules, live jobs
  • Private net with CPU / RAM / PID limits
  • Stopped instances bill storage only

Networking

VPC, DNS, load balancers, health checks, firewall

  • VPC - private IPv4 on 10.231.0.0/16
  • DNS - controller zone (clofix.internal) with auto records; BIND export
  • ALB / NLB - HTTP/HTTPS or TCP; scale from ready VPS backups
  • Health checks - HTTP / TCP / ICMP
  • Firewall - inbound rules for FileVPS, apps, and database TLS ports

Security

VPS Protection Mode

Protection Mode is a per-FileVPS switch. When it is On, the guest root filesystem is mounted read-only. An attacker who lands in the VPS cannot write system files, drop malware into /etc or /usr, or persist changes on the OS layer.

StateWhat happens
On (default for new VPS) Persistent guest root is read-only. Attackers and scripts cannot write the system tree. Temporary paths (/run, /tmp, /var/log, APT cache) stay writable and clear on restart. apt update can refresh indexes. Processes and network keep running.
Off Root becomes writable so you can install packages or change system files. Turn Off only for that maintenance window, then turn On again for production. Toggling restarts a running VPS.
  • On = read layer for the OS - no write to the protected system root
  • Attached Volume / EFS / S3 paths stay writable for app data while root stays read-only
  • Does not stop processes or network traffic
  • Does not inspect HTTP payloads - use WAF for SQLi / XSS / RCE
  • Not a substitute for hardware VM isolation
  • Manage at VPS Details → Security and Security Center

Protection Mode vs WAF

Two separate layers. Sell both: filesystem lock and HTTP inspection.

VPS Protection ModeWAF (OWASP CRS)
What Read-only guest root filesystem Worker-shared HTTP/HTTPS edge engine
Default On for new FileVPS Off until you bind a target
Stops Writing or changing the OS / system files SQLi, XSS, RCE-style HTTP payloads
Does not Inspect HTTP bodies Cover SSH or raw TCP
Console VPS Details → Security /waf bindings and rule groups
  • SSH Login Block, SSH Key-Only, Delete Protection
  • Security Modes: Standard / Hardened / Lockdown / Maintenance / Web Block
  • Network Quarantine for incidents

CloFix Cloud FAQ

Answers about CloFix Cloud features, Protection Mode, WAF, CKS, Docker, billing, storage, and licensing.

What is CloFix Cloud?

CloFix Cloud is multi-tenant cloud console software. One login covers FileVPS, CKS, Docker, Library apps, storage, networking, Protection Mode, OWASP CRS WAF, IAM, partners, and billing.

What is FileVPS?

FileVPS are OS-level Linux guests on enrolled workers. They share the host kernel with OverlayFS and cgroup v2 limits. Create is typically tens of milliseconds; guests are ready in about two seconds. FileVPS is not a KVM/QEMU hardware VM.

How dense are FileVPS guests on a worker?

Guests share the host kernel, so idle cost stays low. Create median is about 38 ms and ready about 1.7 s. Idle host RAM per VPS is about 1.6 MB. A networked pack can run 100 SSH-ready VPS on one worker. Placement uses live free CPU, RAM, and disk with no RAM overcommit.

Can I deploy an app without a VPS?

Yes. Library Quick Apps deploy managed sandboxes with no FileVPS and no SSH box (HTML, PHP, Node, Next.js, WordPress, Adminer, Jenkins). Jobs & Functions also run code without creating a VPS. For containers, use Docker Quick App templates on the worker Docker Engine. For a full guest, install VPS software into a running FileVPS.

What are Jobs & Functions?

Jobs & Functions run Python, Go, Node, PHP, Java, Ruby, Bun, or Deno without creating a FileVPS. Each run gets a fresh overlay, unprivileged UID, limits, and a private network - useful for scripts, automation, and scheduled work. Workers advertise which runtimes they support.

Do tenants get Docker socket access?

No. Containers run on the worker-host Docker Engine (admin opt-in). Tenants never receive docker.sock. Use Docker Quick App templates, image wizard, Compose, and Git build without giving tenants host Docker control.

What does Protection Mode do?

When On (default for new VPS), the guest root filesystem is read-only. Attackers cannot write system files under the protected root. Temporary paths such as /run, /tmp, and /var/log stay writable and clear on restart. Attached Volume / EFS / S3 paths stay writable for app data. Turn Off only to install packages, then turn On again. Toggling restarts a running VPS.

How is WAF different from Protection Mode?

Protection Mode locks the guest filesystem. WAF is a worker-shared OWASP CRS edge engine for HTTP/HTTPS payloads such as SQLi and XSS. Bind FileVPS or Docker targets in /waf. WAF does not cover SSH or raw TCP.

What other security controls are included?

Besides Protection Mode and WAF: SSH Login Block, SSH Key-Only, Delete Protection, Security Modes (Standard / Hardened / Lockdown / Maintenance / Web Block), Network Quarantine for incidents, and Security Center with score, findings, audit trail, and fleet apply.

Does CloFix Cloud include Kubernetes?

Yes. CKS (CloFix Kubernetes Service) provides EKS-style clusters, node pools, workloads, Helm, and kubeconfig on dedicated CKS workers. FileVPS guests cannot run kubelet. The Kubernetes API stays on the worker - port 6443 is not published publicly.

What storage and databases are included?

Volumes (1:1 durable disk), EFS (shared web root), S3 object storage and mounts, VPS writable-layer backups, plus managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis projects.

When should I use Volumes, EFS, or S3?

Volume - durable disk attached 1:1 to one VPS on the same worker. EFS - shared web root across VPS or load balancers. S3 - object storage and s3fs mounts. VPS backup - clone or recover the writable layer onto a new FileVPS on the same worker.

What networking features are included?

VPC on 10.231.0.0/16, controller DNS zone with auto records and BIND export, ALB and NLB load balancers, health checks (HTTP / TCP / ICMP), and firewall rules for FileVPS, apps, and database TLS ports.

How do I access a FileVPS over SSH?

FileVPS supports SSH key, PAM password, or both. PEM download is available once at create. Guests use a private bridge on 10.231.0.0/16 with published SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS ports.

How do workers connect to CloFix Cloud?

Partners and root clients operate on enrolled Linux workers over mTLS. The console places work from live free CPU, RAM, and disk capacity on those workers - no RAM overcommit.

How does billing work?

Due bill meters by the minute. Stopped VPS or database instances bill storage only. Resource Pricing supports Standard and Low-cost monthly and hourly rates. The platform also covers invoices, wallets, subscriptions, credits, and license quotas for VPS, CKS, Docker, load balancers, DNS, and backups.

Who is CloFix Cloud for?

Companies that run their own multi-tenant console on Linux workers; MSPs and partners who resell seats; root clients with full account control; and IAM users with scoped permissions for instances, Kubernetes, databases, and more.

Can partners resell CloFix Cloud?

Yes. Partners manage client accounts and billing. Root clients control their full account. IAM users receive scoped permissions for instances, Kubernetes, databases, and more.

How do I buy or license CloFix Cloud?
