Frequently asked questions
What does “one-click self-hosting” mean?
These projects ship an official deploy template, so a platform like Railway, Render, or PikaPods provisions and runs the app for you — no manual server setup, Docker commands, or reverse-proxy config. You click deploy and it’s live.
Which open-source apps have a one-click deploy?
The apps in the table below all offer one — including n8n, NocoDB, Grafana, Coolify, Umami, Metabase, Cal.com, and Nextcloud. They’re ranked by our 1–5 self-host difficulty score so you can see which are truly turnkey.
Do I still need my own server?
Not for the one-click route — the platform hosts it. If you’d rather own the box, every app here also runs on a cheap $5/mo VPS with Docker. Either way the software itself is free and open-source.
Is one-click deploy free?
The software is free; the hosting platform usually has a small free or low-cost tier. A one-click deploy trades a few dollars a month for skipping all the setup — the fastest way to try self-hosting.
