Security: One-script setup with dynamic secrets and hardened local networking. Own your infrastructure. Deploy on your terms.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Mohit, and I built DeployStack.
The Inspiration:
As an engineer, I’ve seen too many developers (and myself!) get hit with 'surprise bills' from PaaS providers the moment a project starts getting traction. I loved the Vercel workflow, but I hated it because I can't handle the infrastructure on my own.
The Problem:
Self-hosting is usually hard. Setting up webhooks, managing Docker images, and handling build queues manually is a nightmare. I wanted a solution where I could just run one script on a fresh VPS and have a fully functional, automated CI/CD pipeline ready in minutes.
The Evolution:
The biggest challenge was making it stable.
I didn't want the API to crash during heavy builds, so I integrated Apache Kafka to handle the deployment jobs asynchronously.
I prioritized Security-by-Design, ensuring that the internal databases (MongoDB/Kafka) are never exposed to the public internet, bound strictly to the local interface.
I used Flutter Web for the frontend to ensure a smooth, real-time 'Terminal' experience where you can watch your Docker logs stream via Socket.io.
The Goal:
DeployStack is for the developer who wants the 'push-to-deploy' magic but wants to own their servers and keep their costs fixed. It's open, it's yours, and it's built to scale on a single VPS.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the architecture, or what integrations (like Slack notifications or Auto-SSL) you’d like to see added next!
Your VPS, your rules. Let’s deploy.
