About
Gangway is a self-hosted tool for spinning up ephemeral containers for previews, demos, artifacts and temporary sharing. It supports PR previews, dragging in a folder to deploy with an optional password and a personalized URL, and an MCP interface so an LLM agent can deploy apps or artifacts. It was built to use spare compute and cut hosting costs.
At a glance
Gangway runs containerized previews on your own Docker host and gives each one an HTTPS URL. It is worth evaluating if people need to review small apps or agent-generated artifacts before a release.
Good fit
Teams with a spare Docker host, their own domain and a clear preview access policy.
Consider something else when
Use a managed service if you do not want to operate the host, DNS and preview isolation.
Start here
Deploy a harmless static preview with restricted access. Check who can open it, then expire it and confirm the address and associated resources are gone.
Cost and requirements
Apache-2.0 project for a Docker host with domain and HTTPS setup. Preview containers and any temporary databases consume host resources.
Limits to know
A preview is a deployed application. Choose its visibility deliberately and review what code, configuration and secrets are available on the host.
