Is the private repo support possible when self hosted?

Could you clarify what you mean? Cloud-related data stay in the EU, but yeah, marketing/payment stack are more diverse.

Disclaimer: I work at Verda.

Unfortunately it getting more expensive, as hosting companies started to rise prices because of memory costing more

You don't need docker anymore - it is safe and fast to deploy as systemd services.

And yeah AWS and the likes made for big money spenders with gigantic DevOps teams, not one person handling everything.

We at DollarDeploy were advocating that for 95% of your usage needs you don't need anything but one server and if outgrow it just switch to a bigger one.

I think one cloud in a bottle should be solved differently - apps deployed independently but additional thin layer for MDM - so logins and core data is at one place.

Imagine if your self hosted wordpress, outline, nextcloud and etc share same logins and access levels, bootstrapped with same information without the need to type it for every app.

It could also be shareable?

I just had a thought about similar thing - how to track human decisions on the codebase? Consider you are writing code together with AI, how you understand which code change happened because human asked for it

If you need to give access to your CRM/ERP system from ChatGPT / Claude desktop for non-tech users, MCP is the way.

I build integration for DollarDeploy but it was tricky.

Such an example of overengineering, why not just use OAuth?

In v.1 making MCP stateful was such a deployment-unfriendly way to do it - you need a complicated persistence layer for it to work.

All while it is just a fancy way make your OpenSchema PAI visible to AI.

OTel is very complicated while yeah for example datadog is just dropin. And Graylog support for OTel makes it a second class citizen in the logs (all attributes are prepended with otel_attributes_ which makes searching difficult).

Using is hard, vendors are hostile, it seems like no-one want it to be a first class citizen...

They reverted this decision, "claude -p [prompt]" works with your subscription ok.

Agree on how scary it is to do npm upgrade right now.

But I don't understand why Dependabot is bad but Mendral is good. Why Dependabot will be an attack vector and Mendrol will not?

Also this, we disable it when building or deploying apps in DollarDeploy

export SEMGREP_SEND_METRICS=off export COLLECT_LEARNINGS_OPT_OUT=true export STORYBOOK_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 export NEXT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 export SLS_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 export SLS_NOTIFICATIONS_MODE=off export DISABLE_OPENCOLLECTIVE=true export NPM_CONFIG_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=false

Just add this, it works better than Opus 4.7

vim ~/.claude/settings.json

{ "model": "claude-opus-4-6", "fastMode": false, "effortLevel": "high", "alwaysThinkingEnabled": true, "autoCompactWindow": 700000 }
