GhostCMD

AI DevOps that generates CI and deploys to Kubernetes

Visit website
GhostCMD is an AI DevOps engineer for indie hackers, founders and tiny teams. It connects to your GitHub repo, generates CI workflows, prepares Docker & Helm via an “AI Doctor”, and deploys your app to a managed Kubernetes cluster with HTTPS. Instead of wiring Actions, Dockerfiles, charts and TLS by hand, you plug in a repo and go from “GitHub repo” to “live HTTPS URL” without hiring a DevOps engineer.

Hey PH 👋 I’m Evgeny, founder of GhostCMD. For the last ~6 months I’ve been building GhostCMD mostly alone. I wanted a thing I was missing myself: an “AI DevOps engineer” that takes a GitHub repo and gives you a real Kubernetes deployment with HTTPS, without hiring a DevOps person or reading Helm docs at 2am. With GhostCMD you: - connect a GitHub repo, - generate CI pipelines, - run an AI Doctor that prepares Dockerfile + Helm, - deploy to our managed k8s cluster and get a live URL like "https://proj-7.apps.ghostcmd.com". Right now it’s an early beta aimed at indie hackers and tiny teams. Stuff that already works: CI generation, AI Doctor, deploys, scaling, logs. Stuff that’s still rough: UX, some edge cases, and support for more stacks/CI providers. I’d really love feedback from you: - Would you trust something like this for your side-projects/startup? - Which stack/CI combo should I prioritize next? - What would be a “must have” for you to actually try it on a real repo? Thanks a lot for checking this out. I’ll be here during launch day reading everything and answering questions 🙏 Community & links: - Website: ghostcmd.com - Discord: https://discord.gg/scAsvDpX - X: https://x.com/GhostCMD_1

@evgenyevgenyevgeny Congrats on the launch, Evgeny — “GitHub repo → live HTTPS URL on k8s” without reading Helm docs at 2am is a bold promise. I’d love to try this on a real side project. How do you handle secrets, rollbacks, and reviewing what the AI generated (PR/diff)? Any plan to deploy to a user’s own cluster too?

@hijacey Hey, thanks a lot for the questions.

Secrets
Right now secrets are managed per environment inside GhostCMD. They’re stored encrypted at rest and never logged. On deploy we sync them to:

  • GitHub Actions (as repo/environment secrets), and

  • Kubernetes Secrets in the managed cluster

  • so at runtime your app just sees normal env vars, and the raw values don’t leave infra outside of those two places.

Rollbacks
Deploys go through Docker + Helm, so every deploy is a new image tag + Helm release revision. Today rollbacks are pretty simple: you can redeploy a previous image/revision from the console if something breaks. A nicer “one-click rollback” from the UI is on my short-term roadmap.

Reviewing what the AI generates (PR/diff)
The AI Doctor doesn’t silently push to main. It works in a branch and opens a PR with the generated CI workflows / Dockerfile / Helm changes so you can review the diff, tweak anything you don’t like, and only then merge. If you don’t like it - just close the PR and nothing is changed in your repo.

User’s own cluster
At the moment GhostCMD deploys only to a GhostCMD-managed Kubernetes cluster (so I can control reliability and costs in the beta). “Bring your own cluster” is definitely planned - most likely via kubeconfig first, and then native EKS/GKE/etc integrations once the core flow is rock solid.

Hi,

Great direction: automated DevOps with AI is exactly the gap many indie hackers and small teams struggle with.

On first look, a few things could make your value jump off the page much faster:

  • The hero message and homepage don’t yet make clear what happens next after a visitor lands, e.g., “connect GitHub, generate CI/CD, deploy to Kubernetes with HTTPS in minutes.”

  • It isn’t obvious who benefits most: solo hackers? SaaS founders? early stage dev teams?

  • There’s very little proof or outcomes that signal confidence - real numbers, success stories, minutes saved, etc.

Right now visitors see an intriguing idea, but many won’t stick because they don’t instantly see the impact on their workflow.

I work with early-stage SaaS / developer tools on landing messaging and conversion optimization: clarifying ICP, translating features into measurable outcomes, and structuring pages so the value is apparent in the first 5–8 seconds.

If you want a focused outline of messaging and structure tweaks, not generic feedback but tailored to GhostCMD’s promise, just say the word.

Best,

Paul

Tried GhostCMD this morning - really cool concept and the demo looks promising.

That said, a few rough edges I noticed:

• The onboarding still feels a bit “beta”: I had to jump between the app and the docs to fully understand the flow.

• Stack support seems limited for now (would love to see more presets beyond the current ones and clearer guidance for custom setups).

• The UI is functional but sometimes it’s not obvious what’s happening in the background during deploys / CI generation.

Overall though, I like the direction a lot. If you can smooth out the UX and expand stack/CI coverage, this could be super valuable. Congrats on the launch!

Hey, quick follow-up on GhostCMD.

DevOps tools like this usually win when they clearly answer one question:
“How much pain does this remove compared to doing it myself?”

Your automation story is strong, it just needs to show the before/after more aggressively (time, complexity, failure risk).

If you decide to refine the page around that contrast, I’m happy to help structure it for higher conversion.
