The stack: two agents on separate boxes. The public one (nullclaw) is a 678 KB Zig binary using ~1 MB RAM, connected to an Ergo IRC server. Visitors talk to it via a gamja web client embedded in my site. The private one (ironclaw) handles email and scheduling, reachable only over Tailscale via Google's A2A protocol. Tiered inference: Haiku 4.5 for conversation (sub-second, cheap), Sonnet 4.6 for tool use (only when needed). Hard cap at $2/day. A2A passthrough: the private-side agent borrows the gateway's own inference pipeline, so there's one API key and one billing relationship…

Hi HN, I'm Alon, and I'm building Alien, an open-source platform for deploying your software into your customer's environment and keeping it fully managed. In my previous startup, I heard the same question from every single enterprise customer over and over again: "My data is sensitive. Can I deploy your product to my own cloud account?" Self-hosting is becoming very popular because it lets users keep their data private, local, and inside their own environment. Unfortunately, self-hosting breaks down when someone starts paying for your software. Especially if it's an enterprise customer.…

Hey HN! We launched sliplane.io, where deploying Docker containers is super simple and wallet-friendly. With our Pay-per-Server approach, you can host as many containers as you want on each server at a set price - no huge surprise bills, just straightforward Docker hosting. You simply connect your Github repository and we do the rest that you expect from a PaaS, SSL by default, automatic deployments, backups of your storage etc. Pricing starts at 9€/month for 2vCPU, 2GB RAM, 40 GB Disk, 2 TB Egress. Cheers, Jonas

Since there’s a few discussions recently on $4 VPSes we thought you might be interested in Symbiosis, a cheaper and simpler managed k8s provider. Supported features include external LBs, encrypted+replicated storage and autoscaler. Infrastructure can be managed with UI, CLI, Terraform or Pulumi. Control planes are free of charge and a 1vCPU/2GB node goes for $6 per month. We’re live in Germany right now and we’re expanding into US during 2023. Feel free to try it out and leave a comment.

There are plenty of ways to deploy your apps. PaaS options like Vercel or Netlify are convenient but can get pricey as projects scale. VPS hosting is cheaper, but setting it up (Linux, networking, SSL, etc.) can be daunting. That’s why glueh-wyy-huet (https://github.com/glueh-wyy-huet) and I (https://github.com/biersoeckli) built QuickStack during our bachelor studies at Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences. QuickStack simplifies deployment by letting you deploy directly from a Git repo or Docker registry to any VPS. It’s free, open source, and…

2 years ago, while deploying the Valosan press relations platform to AWS, I made a mistake, which resulted in a $4.5k USD bill overnight. After that, I learned that AWS CloudFront CDN charges are not immediately reflected in cost management, and my billing alerts do not help. That got me thinking - would it be possible to deploy apps quickly using a host with simple, predictable pricing and without all the complexity of configuring the server via SSH? While still having a high level of developer productivity with a modern toolchain. Last year, I started working on a DollarDeploy, and we are…

We built it from the ground up, minimal Linux based operating system (written in go and rust), messaging system written in rust and infrastructure as code support (terraform and pulumi) There is even a dashboard, and a playground UI to manage it (that you can even run yourself) . Beautifully decentralized, you have full control of everything, you can deploy on your own servers if the cost of the cloud is too much. You can even run the whole system yourself if you want to. Here is a link to documentation https://manual.grid.tf/ Also, we are honored if it piqued your interest,…

Hey HN! We’re Thomas and Andrew, and we just built a Dutch auction exchange for cloud H100 rentals. It’s live at https://www.H100cloud.com. Auctions traditionally start at a base price and work their way up. That doesn’t work for cloud computing — would you ever want to be outbid and lose your data? Our Dutch auction model starts at a ceiling — $3.50/hr per H100. We lower prices every six hours until servers are picked up by buyers. We stop lowering them when prices reach a $2.20 floor. When you rent a server, the price is locked until you delete the server. You’ll never get…

Hi HN, Alexey from Chainstack here. We built Chainstack Self-Hosted to package everything we’ve learned from 8+ years of running blockchain nodes into a single control panel. The goal we’re building this product around is to make blockchain infrastructure boring to operate. The software is free to install. You only pay for the infrastructure you run it on. The quickest way to get hands-on with it is through the Vultr Marketplace or one of the other providers listed in the docs. The current release supports Ethereum Mainnet, Sepolia, and Hoodi with Reth + Prysm full nodes. We’ll be adding…

Hey HN, I built Server Compass because I got tired of two extremes: paying $200+/month to Vercel/Railway for a polished deploy experience, or wrestling with self-hosted panels (Coolify, CapRover, Dokploy) that eat up half my VPS resources just to run their dashboard. The core idea: A GUI SSH client that gives you Vercel-like deployment UX on your own VPS. Nothing gets installed on your server except your apps – every command runs over SSH from your desktop. What it does: - 1-click deploys from GitHub repos or 160+ pre-built templates (Postgres, WordPress, Ghost, Supabase, n8n,…

I do fullstack dev for work and side projects and recently moved everything to a couple VPSs on hetzner. Great setup, low cost, but one thing kept bugging me, how do I know if something is down without manually sshing in all the time? I tried the grafana + prometheus stack but the configuration time and seeing it use more resources than my actual apps was rough. Tried some smaller solutions too but nothing felt right. So I said screw it and built exactly what I wanted. tori is a single go binary that runs on your server, reads host metrics from /proc and /sys, monitors containers…

Hi HN, I'd like to share a small Go utility I wrote called prxy. The idea was born out of my frustration with accessing my self-hosted services when I'm on the go. I use WireGuard to connect to my homelab, but I really dislike sending all my computer's traffic through my home network — it slows things down and is inconvenient. I wanted proper application-level split-tunneling. A tool I love, wireproxy, got me most of the way there by creating an HTTP proxy from a WireGuard peer. This is perfect for apps that let you configure a proxy. The problem was the other 10%: apps that don't. Think of…
