Saved tons of $$, and can self-host my Ghost/Wordpress/Postgres instances etc.
Built a tool to help others do the same
Show HN: I built indiehost to automate self-hosting on a VPS with Coolify
indiehost.io
Just so people know, if you sign up you go on a waitlist which is basically specified in the 'not what to do' section in the ShowHN guidelines.

Deleting and moving to regular submission
I haven't used this service myself because I found self-hosting Coolify to be easy enough, but I think it would be useful to have a side-by-side comparison between this service (Indiehost) and Coolify Cloud.
Only fair I think to highlight that essentially this exact service is also offered by Coolify themselves as a subscription which is $5/mo ($4/mo if you pay annually).

Indiehost is even more of an abstraction (sign in with cloud provider and we do the rest) vs. Coolify Cloud still requires configuring your servers + resources + understanding of Coolify (e.g. proxies, redirects, ssh keys, backups, etc.)
Of course, the abstraction has its drawbacks (limited control) and I always recommend self-hosting. It's a template for the most common scenarios for new devs/app devs who may shy away from self-hosting for many reasons (takes too much time, not-reliable, fear of the unknown)

Great point thank you - will add a section on this to the landing page Indiehost is even more of an abstraction (sign in with cloud provider and we do the rest) vs. Coolify Cloud still requires configuring your servers + resources + understanding of Coolify (e.g. proxies, redirects, ssh keys, backups, etc.) Of course, the abstraction has its drawbacks (limited control) and I always recommend self-hosting.

Does the Coolify allow this use-case?
Coolify itself is essentially a tool allowing you to install other open-source software, it would be somewhat ironic if they refused to allow others to build products that use their service in the same way.
