# Run your own systems

- Publisher: SIAX Technology AB, siax.io

Deploy apps, run containers, store and back up data and watch uptime on infrastructure you choose.

## Problems it solves

- Hosting and platform bills grow with traffic and are hard to predict.
- Your applications should run on infrastructure you can move between providers.
- You need to know where your data is stored and who can reach it, for example to meet GDPR obligations.

## Open source projects

- [Coolify](https://siax.io/en/projects/coolify): Apache-2.0 (verified)
- [Uptime Kuma](https://siax.io/en/projects/uptime-kuma): MIT (verified)

## Services it can replace

- [Vercel](https://siax.io/en/alternatives/vercel): Coolify: Direct alternative, Verified (<https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/blob/72c8209285dcd09291cca16f2acaf14dacf3ac43/README.md>)
- [Heroku](https://siax.io/en/alternatives/heroku): Coolify: Direct alternative, Verified (<https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/blob/72c8209285dcd09291cca16f2acaf14dacf3ac43/README.md>)

## Components to combine

- Open in the stack builder: https://siax.io/en/stack-builder?v=1&saas=github/github,vercel/vercel,doppler/doppler,okta/okta,uptimerobot/uptimerobot&pick=git-hosting.gitea,paas.coolify,secrets-management.infisical,sso-iam.zitadel,uptime-monitoring.uptime-kuma&req=sh,eu

## Limitations

- Running it yourself moves updates, backups, monitoring and security patches to you or to a provider you choose. Budget time for that work. (SIAX assessment)

## Running cost

Self-hosting is not free: servers, backups and your own time cost money. These figures are estimates; minimum resources come only from the project's own documentation.

- Coolify: 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 10 GB disk (verified)
- Uptime Kuma: minimum resources not yet assessed.
