One-click apps
Pick an app when you create an instance. Nextify installs it at the first boot, opens its ports and generates its passwords, which you see once. Apps are installed directly on Ubuntu, without containers, so you run and update them like any other server. You pay only for the instance; the apps cost nothing extra.
The most widely used website and blog platform, ready to set up in your browser.
WordPress on nginx, PHP-FPM and MariaDB, installed directly on Ubuntu with its own database and a generated database password. Open the server's address to choose your site title and admin account. Add a load balancer with a certificate, or certbot, for HTTPS.
A lightweight self-hosted Git service with issues, pull requests and a web interface.
Gitea from the official release binary, running as the system user git with a SQLite database. The web installer opens with SQLite and port 3000 already filled in; you add the base URL and the administrator account. Git over SSH uses the server's own SSH on port 22.
A self-hosted monitoring dashboard that checks your websites and services and alerts you when they go down.
Uptime Kuma from the latest upstream release on Node.js LTS, installed directly on Ubuntu as a system service. It checks HTTP, TCP, ping, DNS and more, and sends alerts to email, Slack, Discord, Telegram and many other channels. You create the admin account in the browser.
Dashboards and alerting for your metrics, logs and databases.
Grafana OSS from the official Grafana apt repository, so it updates with the system's packages. The admin password is generated by Nextify and kept as a secret on the instance. Add your data sources, such as Prometheus, PostgreSQL or Loki, after signing in.
A workflow automation tool that connects your apps and APIs with a visual editor.
n8n on Node.js LTS, installed with npm and run as a system service with its data in /var/lib/n8n. It runs over plain HTTP with secure cookies turned off so you can sign in by IP address; put it behind a load balancer with a certificate for production. You create the owner account in the browser.
A low-code editor for wiring together devices, APIs and online services in flows.
Node-RED on Node.js LTS, installed with npm and run as a system service with its flows in /var/lib/node-red. The editor is protected by a password generated by Nextify for the user admin. Popular for home automation, IoT and quick integrations.
A PostgreSQL database server for your other instances on a private network.
PostgreSQL from Ubuntu's packages with one database and one owner user, the password generated by Nextify. It listens on every interface, but only private addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 100.64.0.0/10) may sign in, with a password; everything else is refused. Keep port 5432 closed to the internet.
An in-memory key-value store for caches, queues and sessions, reachable from your private network.
Redis from Ubuntu's packages with a password generated by Nextify that every client must use. It listens on every interface with protected mode on; keep port 6379 closed to the internet and connect from your other instances over a private network.
