Hosted service
People who want to publish without operating a server.
- We handle hosting and updates for you
- Start with a 14-day free trial. A card is required, and you can cancel before the first charge.
Self-hosting and source
Your server. Your data. The same OpenPost.
Run the complete AGPL-3.0-only product on infrastructure you control. You choose the data location and deployment settings, and you own the operating work described below.
For operators who want to run OpenPost on infrastructure they control.
Choose how to run it
The product stays the same. The server work changes.
Self-hosted OpenPost
Teams that need control over the server and stored data.
- Run the complete AGPL-3.0-only server
- Choose the database, media storage, domain, and social app keys
- Own updates, TLS, secrets, backups, and restore tests
Small server setup
Run fewer required services.
The default setup is small. You still need safe settings, monitoring, backups, and social network access.
One application
The SvelteKit frontend is embedded in the Go server binary.
SQLite by default
Use SQLite for a compact install, or PostgreSQL for a larger deployment.
Database-backed jobs
Scheduled posts survive restarts without a required Redis service.
Configurable media
Store media locally or on a configured S3-compatible backend.
Operating responsibility
Know what you take on before you deploy.
Infrastructure and data
You provide the server, public HTTPS origin, database, media storage, monitoring, secrets, and access controls. You decide where OpenPost data is stored and who can administer it.
Upgrades and backups
You track releases and security notices, schedule upgrades, and back up the database, media, and required secrets together. Test restores before relying on those backups.
Provider projects
You create and maintain social network projects, callback URLs, permissions, reviews, and API budgets. OpenPost still sends requested content and access tokens to those networks.
Support boundary
OpenPost publishes documentation, source, issues, and community help. You operate the service, support its users, respond to incidents, and maintain the privacy and retention practices for your deployment.
One product
The deployment changes. The publishing model does not.
The Hosted service and a self-hosted deployment use the same OpenPost code and product terms. Hosted plan limits and operated services do not become part of your installation.
- One Go service with the SvelteKit app embedded
- SQLite and local media by default
- PostgreSQL and S3-compatible media options
- Database-backed scheduling without required Redis
- The same Publication, Rendition, Workspace, API, CLI, and MCP model
Start with the production checklist.
The documentation covers installation, configuration, provider projects, backups, health checks, logs, upgrades, and troubleshooting. Review the complete path before exposing an instance to users.
The repository also includes Devenv commands for setup, checks, tests, builds, and release verification. Issues and pull requests are public.
