Lowdefy on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Lowdefy is an open source, config-first low-code web stack for building internal tools, admin panels, CRUD interfaces, dashboards and business applications from a single declarative YAML configuration. You describe pages, blocks, data requests and logic in lowdefy.yaml and Lowdefy compiles it into a production Next.js application, so teams ship internal software quickly without hand-writing a frontend. This image delivers Lowdefy fully installed and hardened, serving the official starter application behind an nginx reverse proxy, so a live, usable low-code server is operational within minutes of launch with no manual package installation and no dependency troubleshooting.

Unlike a bare deployment, this image ships secure by default. There is no known bootstrap credential: the Lowdefy server binds to the loopback interface only and is fronted by nginx with HTTP Basic authentication, and on first boot a per-VM administrator password and a per-VM application signing secret are generated and written to a root-only credentials file on the instance. No world-open window is ever exposed, nginx is ready for your TLS certificate, and systemd manages the service for automatic restarts and clean logging. 24/7 cloudimg support is included.

To build your own application you edit /opt/lowdefy/lowdefy.yaml, rebuild with the Lowdefy CLI and restart the service. Lowdefy provides a rich block library, an operator and event system for logic, connections and requests to databases and APIs, theming, and optional authentication providers, all driven from reviewable configuration that is easy to version-control and generate.
