Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Sebastian, and I built Litepod because I wanted to host my side projects on cheap VPSs without exposing a Docker socket or giving up half the RAM to the control plane. Litepod runs on rootless Podman and uses about 63 MB of RAM. It does what you'd expect from Heroku or Vercel, on your own server: • Git push to deploy (Railpack, Dockerfile or Compose) • One-click databases and templates • Automatic HTTPS • Multiple servers over SSH • Metrics, a web terminal and S3 backups • MCP, so your AI agent can check and deploy your apps It's open source (Apache 2.0). You can self-host it with one command, or use Litepod Cloud if you'd rather not run the control plane yourself. Try the demo without signing up: https://demo.litepod.sh I'd love your feedback 🙏
