Deploy Waline in one click installation.
Lightweight open-source comment system with spam protection, moderation, and rich notification support.
What you can build with Waline
Waline is an open-source, self-hosted comment system designed for static websites, blogs, and documentation sites. It provides a full-featured commenting experience including nested replies, emoji reactions, visitor counts, and article view statistics, all without relying on third-party services that track your users.
Self-hosting Waline on your own VPS gives you complete control over comment data, moderation workflows, and notification settings. This deployment uses SQLite for zero-configuration local storage, so there is no separate database to manage. Waline integrates with any frontend via a JavaScript widget and supports Markdown formatting in comments out of the box.

Visitor Analytics
Track page view counts and unique visitor statistics per article directly from the Waline widget, with no extra analytics service needed.
Moderation Dashboard
Web-based admin panel lets you approve, edit, and delete comments and manage commenter accounts from a single interface.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
