I built indiehost to automate self-hosting on a VPS with Coolify
Recently moved all of my apps to a $4/mo VPS using Coolify Saved tons of $$, and can self-host my Ghost/Wordpress/Postgres instances etc. Built a tool to help others do the same
In plain words
Indiehost automates self-hosting applications on a low-cost VPS using Coolify, enabling users to deploy and manage Ghost, WordPress, PostgreSQL, and other services independently. It targets developers and small business owners seeking to reduce hosting expenses by migrating from managed platforms to affordable virtual servers. The tool simplifies the technical setup required for self-hosting, making it accessible to those without extensive DevOps experience.

Self-hosting is becoming very popular because it lets users keep their data private, local, and inside their own environment.
