We ve been self-hosting tools like Cal, Supabase, Formbricks, and Plane and got tired of wiring everything together across separate repos, envs, and dashboards. So we built onestack.cloud, an orchestration layer written in Elixir, running on a single VPS.
There s a managed version live now (Hetzner) but we re about to open source the project so others can self-host with infra as code baked in.

The goal for the OSS version is:

• A single codebase with a central config to manage your whole stack

• One click deploys (via Docker Compose for now)

• A management layer over the top with unified credentials across all tools and simple onboarding and offboarding for teams

• Enable or disable services from config without manual infra changes

Right now we support 9 tools on the platform. The vision is to support 50+ so self-hosters and teams can pick what they need from a growing library of open source apps and manage everything from a single codebase without having to piece it all together.

I'd like to share a down-to-earth personal story. This is about a med student who paused medical school, became a self-taught developer, and unexpectedly turned into a startup founder all to help the people he loved.

I took a leave of absence from medical school, not simply to build an app for my needs, but because I saw my loved ones suffering alone from panic attacks.
