Introducing Openship: Deploy Anything, Own Everything

Today we're open-sourcing Openship - a deployment platform you can run on your own servers.

Why we built this

Cloud platforms like Vercel and Netlify are great for getting started. But as your app grows, so does the bill. Metered CPU, per-seat pricing, bandwidth caps - it adds up fast. And when you want to leave, you realize your infrastructure is locked into their proprietary systems.

We wanted something different:

• Self-hosted first - Run on any Linux server. A $20/month VPS handles what costs $200+ on managed platforms.
• Open source - MIT licensed. No black boxes, no vendor lock-in.
• AI-assisted - Framework detection, build optimization, and configuration are handled automatically.

What you can deploy

Openship supports any stack that runs in a container:

• Frontend frameworks - Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix
• Backend - Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP
• Databases - Postgres, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB
• Full-stack - Multi-service apps with shared networking

Getting started

curl -fsSL https://get.openship.io | sh
cd your-project
openship deploy

Three commands. That's it.

What's next

We're working on load balancers, cluster management, private networking, and a built-in CI/CD pipeline. Check the roadmap for details.
