Getting started
Introduction
Lunary Cloud is managed hosting for open-source business applications, on Canadian infrastructure.
Lunary Cloud runs open-source business applications — CRMs, automation platforms, document tools — as managed services. You pick the application; we provision it, keep it updated, back it up, monitor it, and respond when something breaks.
What "managed" means here
Every service you run with us is:
- Its own instance on Canadian infrastructure. Your data stays in Canada.
- Observed, not assumed. An agent on the VM reports health to our control plane. The dashboard and the API show the same state our operators see.
- Operable by you. Backups, syncs, and restarts are actions in the dashboard and calls in the API, not support tickets.
- Portable. Your data lives in standard open-source applications. Exports and migration help are part of the service.
Terms used in these docs

| Artifact | A file a run produced (a database dump, an export), downloadable on demand. |
| Routine | A named, saved operation on an instance, optionally on a schedule. |
