Show HN: Swiftor – AI Hacking Platform [cheap vms, 20 models, voice-chat, MCP]

I built an all-in-one hacking dashboard. Deploy VMs within 10 seconds, install popular apps with one click, ai gateway with 23 different AI models to use (everywhere, not just on swiftor). There is a voice-chat system being pushed to production soon which allows you to chat with any deployment with 1-click-select MCP Tools.

Hi, I'm a software engineer and cybersecurity student who was tired of juggling Docker CL and countless browser tabs just to manage my development and study workloads. Tools such as Portainer helped a bit, but restarting containers on changes, managing secrets and assessment documents manually all got frustrating fast! I needed a unified interface to be more productive.

Swiftor (https://swiftor.io) is a cloud-native, all-in-one interface designed to be fast and seamless. It ships with Networking and Secrets manager which updates the containers automatically and assigns subdomains for the services. The Webview component automatically maps those Networking routes to quickly show the output in an iFrame - so you never have to open another browser tab again. The layout manager allows you to customize your workspace with dragable tabs and windows. The storage is a smart-centralized design which encapsulates all the vms, profile and workspace data in a master user folder. The Codemirror6 embedded Editor supports multiple language syntax for quickly manipulating any file from any deployment.

By default, every user has their personal workspace featuring a Note-taking and Vibecoding app, an AI search engine and Glance dashboard. The notes app is rich knowledge management software that exports to PDF, Word and HTML. Bolt.diy for customized news, updates and metrics. Swiftor is perfect for students, developers and hackers. You can Cloud deployments ensure you can access your deployments on anything with a browser.

I'm selling productivity, unification and convenience. You can deploy all of these tools yourself locally but its the unified and modern interface, which is interconnected with every other component that makes it such a valuable platform. Competitors of its class provide a stripped down workspace with minimal interactivity. The future of compute is in the cloud and this is the cheapest and full control compute you will get. OSS has been a big factor for the creation of this platform and we will continue to support and priortise those community led projects to power its catalog, irrespective of the size. As a thank you, I plan to monetize the marketplace and deployments with a split-share in the future and would consider making this entire platform open-source once it's profitable. With that you can deploy it locally with the exact same functionality.

Although closed source, its be a community driven project meaning YOU get to decide what happens on it. Its not perfect yet, but definitely a productive enough experience to share. I have a roadmap and I want to build it publicly from here on out. I am running this with very close profit margins, so if you like the project, consider supporting. You won't get any cheaper compute bundled with such a seamless and powerful experience. Check it out and leave me some feedback.
