What it does
OpenShip is an open source PaaS that runs on our cloud or your infrastructure. Push your code and OpenShip handles builds, deployments, domains, SSL, monitoring, backups, secrets, and the services your apps depend on. Start fully managed on OpenShip Cloud or self host on your own cloud or on prem. Move between them without changing how you deploy. No proprietary runtime. No vendor lock in. Remove OpenShip and your apps keep running. Deploy anything. Own everything.
Deploy anything, own everything. Self-hostable, AI-powered deployment platform with free SSL, unlimited domains, instant rollbacks, and CLI/MCP support. Open source and free to self-host, forever.
Push your code - builds, config, and deployment are handled automatically. Use our cloud or connect your own servers. Zero lock‑in, completely open‑source. From a git push to a served request — this is the actual path your code takes, and every box on it is something Openship runs for you. Diagram of the Openship deploy path. A git push, CLI command, desktop app or AI agent triggers a build. The build runs on your machine and produces an immutable version, then streams over SSH to your server — Openship Cloud, your own VPS, or a homelab. On the server, managed Postgres, Redis, mail and object storage join the app on a private network. The edge layer terminates your domains with automatic…from openship.io

I'm building an open-source Amazon2022 · openship.org · ▲1,335A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…

the cloud is a walled garden built for profit [ not efficiency ]. you’re paying for idle, autoscaling is too slow, and serverless is a scam. locked in, overcharged, and out of options. lttle.cloud is different. decentralized, open-source, and built for real performance [ sub-10ms cold start ], true pay-for-what-you-use pricing, and zero vendor lock-in. deploy anything as "serverless" from any docker image, no rewrites, no bullshit. powered by the blockchain and built in public, it’s transparent, efficient, and free from vendor lock-in. run your own private cloud or join the decentralized…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
