About

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. Nick
