OneDeploy

OneDeploy is a deployment platform for running open-source applications on a server that belongs only to you. It offers a catalog of 105 open-source apps covering websites, chat, files, CRM, analytics, AI and developer tools, and each one deploys the same way: you pick an app, choose a region and a plan, and OneDeploy creates the server, installs the application, issues the TLS certificate and schedules nightly backups. A few minutes later the app is live with its own web address and an admin account. Plans start at $18 a month for a server, billed by the hour and capped monthly, and deleting a service stops billing. OneDeploy never charges per user, so the price follows the server rather than the size of your team. The product addresses a trade-off that teams face when choosing software. As the company puts it, a subscription is easy but it is never yours, while a server of your own is yours but never easy. With a hosted subscription, the vendor runs the server on their terms and charges per seat. With a self-managed server, the team takes on patching, monitoring, restores, DNS and certificate work — an afternoon of setup if all goes well, followed by ongoing chores. OneDeploy is positioned to give both halves at once: the app runs on a server nobody else uses, in the region you choose, while the operational work — server, certificate, backups, updates and resizing — is handled from the dashboard. The comparison the site draws is direct: easier than a server, and yours, unlike a subscription. The catalog is the starting point of every deployment. It spans websites and publishing (WordPress, Ghost), chat and collaboration (Mattermost, Zulip, Nextcloud, Docmost, Outline, Wiki.js), files and documents (ONLYOFFICE Docs, Paperless-ngx, Stirling PDF, DocuSeal), CRM and business apps (Odoo, Twenty, ERPNext, Invoice Ninja, Kimai), analytics (Metabase, Apache Superset, Grafana, Plausible Analytics, Umami, Matomo), automation (n8n, Activepieces, Apache Airflow, Kestra, Windmill) and AI tools (LibreChat, AnythingLLM, Flowise, Dify, Langflow, Langfuse, Open WebUI, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent). It also includes databases and infrastructure such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Valkey, ClickHouse, Qdrant, Typesense, Meilisearch, OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, Kafka, RabbitMQ and NATS, plus developer tooling like GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, Jenkins, Woodpecker CI, Harbor, Docker Registry, SonarQube Community Build and code-server. OneDeploy notes that the list keeps growing, and that every app in it deploys the same way. Each service runs on its own virtual machine, so there are no shared resources and no noisy neighbors — the performance of your chat, CRM or database is not affected by anyone else on the platform. Backups are part of the package rather than an add-on: encrypted, off-site backups run every day, and the dashboard example shows nightly backups kept for 30 days. You can restore a backup in place or into a new service, and there is a "Back up now" action for an immediate copy. The activity feed records these events, for example a backup completed today, a certificate issued for a domain yesterday and the app deployed yesterday, so there is a visible timeline of what the platform has done for the service. Domains and certificates are handled from the same dashboard. Every app gets a web address when it deploys, and you can add your own domain; OneDeploy issues the certificate and the dashboard shows the domain as verified with TLS on. Day-to-day operations are also one-click: update the app, restart it, or change the server. The service view in the dashboard shows details such as the app version and whether it is up to date, and the server size — for example a dedicated server with 4 GB RAM — next to Restart, Back up now, Update and Resize controls. When you deploy, you also choose the region, so an app can run close to its users; OneDeploy lists Hetzner and Vultr as providers behind its regions, and its worked example creates a Mattermost server in Frankfurt. Pricing is deliberately transparent. You pick a plan, see the live price before you deploy, pay by the hour and the total is capped monthly. Servers start at $18 a month, and the example deployment shows $0.025/hour for the Mattermost instance. Because OneDeploy never charges per user, one server is shared by the whole team at one price, which is the core contrast with per-seat subscriptions. Deleting a service stops billing, so you are not locked into an annual commitment to try something. The dashboard groups usage and settings alongside services, backups and domains, giving one place to watch cost and state together. The working method is a fixed three-step flow. Step one: browse the catalog and choose the tool your team needs. Step two: pick a region and a plan, with the live price shown before you deploy. Step three: a few minutes later the app is live with its own web address and admin account. Behind that, OneDeploy runs a consistent deployment sequence — in the Mattermost example it creates a server in Frankfurt, installs Mattermost, issues the TLS certificate, schedules nightly backups and creates the admin account, updating the interface as each step completes. Every app in the catalog goes through that same sequence, which is why the platform can describe deployment as identical regardless of whether you are launching a chat tool or a database. The outcomes the site promises follow from that model. Your data stays yours: the app runs on a server nobody else uses, in the region you choose, and you can restore a backup, move it, or delete it — it is your call. There are no server chores, because the server, certificate, backups, updates and resizing are all handled from the dashboard, so you spend your time in the app rather than on it. Costs stay flat as the team grows, since the price follows the server and not headcount. And you get production basics that a self-managed box usually lacks at the start: a web address, a TLS certificate, and nightly encrypted off-site backups that can be restored in one click. Concrete use cases are organized by team. For website and marketing, OneDeploy suggests WordPress, Umami and Mautic to publish a site, measure visits without third-party tracking and run your own email campaigns. For sales, Cal.com and Odoo let clients book time while leads, quotes and invoices stay in your own CRM. For customer support, Chatwoot answers chat, email and social messages from one shared inbox. For the whole company, Mattermost, Nextcloud and Docmost provide chat, file sharing and documentation on servers you control. For data and operations, Metabase, n8n and Activepieces build dashboards on your databases and automate repetitive work. For AI, LibreChat, AnythingLLM, Flowise, OpenClaw and Hermes Agent deliver private AI chat, document assistants and agents with the model of your choice. Each app runs on its own server, so a team can start with one and add more later. The product is aimed at teams that want the tools they use to be theirs — chat, files, docs, CRM, analytics, automation and AI — without taking on the work of running a server or accepting per-seat pricing. Infrastructure is drawn from Hetzner and Vultr regions, and everything is managed through a web dashboard rather than a terminal. OneDeploy summarizes its value in one line that also sets expectations: software you control, without the work of running it. In short, OneDeploy takes the open-source catalog your team already wants and turns it into a running, backed-up, certificate-protected service on a server that is only yours, priced by the hour with a monthly cap and no per-user fees.
