I deployed Open SaaS to OpenShip (OpenShip)! It was my first time successfully self-hosting an app on a Hetzner VPS. The video below summarises what it took to get it done, and some of my thoughts on the process and platform, e.g.: - Server: Hetzner CPX22 4GB RAM, 80GB disk, with Ubuntu 24.04 -> $23/month - Create an SSH key locally, add it in Hetzner, and set up firewall rules - Add the server in OpenShip - Buy domain, point it at VPS - Write a Docker Compose file and Dockerfiles so OpenShip would deploy all three parts of Open SaaS stack (react, expressjs, postgres) as one unit - Set Env Vars - Add domain TXT records and get SSL certs Things I like: - Auto-deploy from GitHub pushes. - OpenShip handles domains, certs, and SSL provisioning for you. - Built-in jobs and backups: nightly database backups called out as a genuinely cool feature. - Satisfaction of ending up with a fully self-hosted SaaS. Things I didn't like: - The "$5/month VPS" everyone talks about wasn't actually available in any region. Ended up at $23/month. SAD. - OpenShip is still in beta and I hit multiple bugs. - Deploying anything multi-service isn't a first class citizen on OpenShip yet / requires hand-writing Docker config. - Whether to run your own mail server on a VPS is contested. Verdict: - At $23/month, managed hosting providers still look like better value until you have serious traffic, given how little you have to think about. - Would use it for hobby apps and small projects; wouldn't put an important or high-traffic SaaS on it yet until I trust OpenShip more and understand self-hosting better.
