Show HN: DollarDeploy - Avoid cloud costs and complexity - deploy to your VPS
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 launching it worldwide. The pricing starts from $1/month per app, and it allows you to deploy NextJS, React, Python, and Docker Compose apps quickly from public and private GitHub repositories.
We also provide host monitoring, PostgreSQL, and Redis management on the server, and NextJS apps run natively on the host - so you don’t have an overhead of the docker while having reverse proxy, HTTP, and logging configured automatically.
You can deploy your own apps and co-host popular self-hosted open-source apps such as WordPress, TwentyCRM, Ghost CMS, and more! We also support deploying to GPU servers to run your private LLMs (With OpenAI ChatGPT compatible API).
We also integrate with DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and DataCrunch, so you can quickly start the server, launch the app, and remove the server if you don’t need it.

Nice idea and implementation!
Can DollarDeploy deploy a docker image to multiple hosts?
Yes, you just need to add two apps with the same configuration pointing to the different hosts for that.
We plan on implementing different cluster topologies in the future.
Sounds good! Can I deploy my Wordpress website with it?
Sure, you can deploy and keep it updated by using our template for Wordpress https://dollardeploy.com/r/wordpress
Wow. Interesting, thank you.
