Show HN: CLI tool that makes your app self-hostable in one command

Posted by lexokoh on Tuesday February 04, 2025 @01:04PM
from the show-hn dept.

I've been exploring the self-hosting world for some time now, and I wanted to simplify things with one command and avoid having to jump through hoops to make my application self-hostable.

I thought many of these could be automated, so I'm automating everything related to self-hosting, one after the other.

Please check the roadmap for what I have in mind. I'm open to anyone who wants to contribute and give feedback.

Can you make it so we can use this in CI and have it automatically deploy to Docker Hub? I am seriously thinking of using this if you get this one feature

Awesome. I will look into adding this. There's a community link on the page. So it is easier to give feedback.

Also can you make this open-source? I'd love to dig in the code.

Also, can you make it so I don't have to make it set it up using an actual domain? For my project I only care about it running locally (with Docker Desktop or something) at localhost. I think that is a very novel feature with plenty of uses but it should be optional.

We have this in the doc for local dev already.

So just press enter and continue with that question. You don't have to do anything else.

Please open an issue you might have on the project. Thank you for the feedback.
