A CLI tool I made to self-host any app with two commands on a VPS

In plain words

This CLI tool simplifies self-hosting applications on a VPS by reducing the process to just two commands. Designed for developers who want to deploy and manage their own infrastructure, it streamlines setup and configuration work that typically requires extensive manual effort. The tool automates deployment workflows, making self-hosting more accessible to those who prefer controlling their own servers rather than relying on managed hosting platforms.

  Hey , So I’ve been working on a platform called Kage that helps developers sell, secure, and scale their self-hosted software. Self-hosted products are powerful, but getting paid for them, while keeping deployments secure and compliant, is a challenge. With Kage, you can: - Sell: Automatic licensing, renewals, and usage-based billing. - Secure: Prevent unauthorized use, even for enterprise deployments. - Scale: AI-powered deployment that lets customers get started with one click. I built Kage because I saw too many developers struggle to capture the value of their work. I'd love your…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
