Currently working on Agentry(https://agentry.run/) Runtime, connection, and deploy layer for building internal apps and automations with AI. You can build anything that you can build with Lovable, Replit etc. Your model, Your harness and your own Laptop/Server

some examples https://vessel-ops-dashboard-4c3976e79335c1aa.agentry.live/ https://local-goods-shop-54ce3b368e0d41f6.agentry.live/

Show HN: Build and Host AI apps on your own servers

winash83 — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 15:56:11 +0000

I wanted a way to build and host some vibecoded apps/dashboards etc , but figured there was no good way outside using things like lovable and replit , where the code and data and the hosting lives on their servers

Many of the online app builders don't allow you to switch the model to an open model and charge premiums for tokens, Some of the app builders even want you to paste DB credentials in the chat which to me was a complete no no

I have been working on an alternative to this model , where you bring your own servers and use any AI harness to build and host apps

You bring 3 things

1. A server - even your laptop will do or a $5 VPS - should run docker 2. AI harness - anything - Cursor , roo , Claude , Pi - It should speak MCP 3. AI Api key

You use an mcp in stdio mode to drive a remote sandbox on your own server , and then with one click , just deploy the app publicly

The backend is on docker and I plan to extend it to other backends soon

You can build anything that you can build on Lovable or Replit , even full stack apps , You can bring your databases, bind env variables and integrate almost anything without the secrets ever leaving your machine or your server

Everything is TLS end to end, Your server needs no inbound ports

I would love some feedback on this, The core is open source , The hosted service is free to use

Here is something I built today

A real-time operations dashboard for research vessels, combining live tracking, mission planning, and environmental monitoring in a unified interface (https://vessel-ops-dashboard-4c3976e79335c1aa.agentry.live/)

For most dev/test workflows redundancy is not a huge concern, because we can just recreate the environments, in practice things are quite stable, most HW vendors like Hp Dell etc let you rent the servers instead of buying them, in case of serious HW issues they take care of the fixes, and usually there is someone at the Colocation site to take care of the day to day

We went down this path over the last year, lots of our devs need local and dev/test environments and AWS was costing us a bomb, With about 7 Bare metals(Colocation) we are running about 200+ VMs and could double that number with some capacity to spare. For management, we built a simple wrapper over libvirt. I am setting up another rack in the US and will end up costing around $75Kper year for a similar capacity.

Our prod is on AWS but we plan to move everything else and it's expected to save at least a quarter of a million dollars per year

I am working on a couple of things.

- An open version of strongDM/teleport for privileged access management. I am currently testing it out in my org and plan to release the source soon. - I also run a free HTTPS and TCP tunnel which gets a few users daily (https://webrelay.dev)

I made one too, https://webrelay.dev it’s a fun little project, I added TCP tunnels and a lightweight overlay network as well , basically you can start a port on a remote machine and map it to a local port instead of exposing it publicly.

I made WebRelay as an alternative to Ngrok. It supports TCP, HTTPs tunnels and allows the user to create a lightweight overlay network to access remote services using local ports. https://docs.webrelay.dev/
