A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/amp is now migrated from Vercel to self-hosted Coolify on Hetzner

It's a decently big app with 0.2m records in a 5GB postgres db and a bunch of scheduled workflows orchestrated with cron. I used to pay roughly $50-60/mo for all of the data/compute on Vercel.

Rolled a new Hetzner 8-core/16GB AMD instance in us-east ($30/mo). It hosts the database + app on the same machine. Vercel cron replaced with GitHub actions (which support cron-type scheduling!). 

Should eat only about 10% of the instance's resources 🚀 Growing more and more bullish on self-hosting.

what would you like to know? I'll write a blog post

My main struggle with setting up coolify and why I for now am not migrating to it is I can’t easily mount files containing secrets to the running containers

Kubernetes gives me Secrets that I can just mount into the container easily
