Hi HN, I'm Nick. Ployz (
https://ployz.dev) gives you Railway's UX on Linux servers you rent - start with a single server and grow from there. The code is at
https://github.com/getployz/ployz.
I've always wanted a self-hosting solution that can deliver a top-tier experience rivalling or beating what cloud platforms offer. By being opinionated, I believe it delivers on this:
- A single flat mesh (any service can contact any other service, simply)
- Start with a single server, scale from there
- ZFS volumes (instant snapshots, host-to-host syncing, instant branching soon)
- No separate management servers to run. You tell Ployz what to do, it does it, and it's done.
Basically, it's my dream orchestrator with Railway's UX on top.
It's also a bet that AI will be much better at managing a system of simple imperative primitives than a declarative system like Kubernetes.
I tagged the 0.3 beta today. I'd love for you to try it. It's fully drivable from the CLI, MCP, or sidebar.
