This is POSF's official application portal for hosting open‑source projects.
We're backed by our parent organization, Pyro, and our mission is to provide free, reliable, and secure hosting for open‑source projects.
Please note: POSF is currently in early alpha. Initial onboarding may take longer than the 7 business days stated below. Thank you for your patience!
-
Prepare
- Your project must use an OSI‑approved license.
- The primary code repository must be public and active.
-
Apply
- Click New Issue.
- Choose the “POSF Hosting Application” template.
- Fill in the requested details:
- Architecture diagram (optional but helpful)
- Estimated resource usage (CPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth)

Review & Onboarding
- The POSF Infrastructure Team will triage your request within 7 business days.
- We’ll contact you by email for any clarifications or next steps.

Heads up: An application does not guarantee acceptance. Approval depends on resource availability, project maturity, and community impact.
