About This Service
A community initiative to support Fluxer development
Our Mission
FluxerHost (aka Fluxer Community Hosting) is a grassroots initiative dedicated to supporting and growing the Fluxer ecosystem. We believe in the power of open-source collaboration and aim to remove financial barriers for developers building innovative Fluxer-based applications.
Community-Driven Approach
This hosting service is run by and for the Fluxer community. We're not officially affiliated with the company Fluxer Platform AB. We are, however, passionate about seeing the platform thrive. Our goal is to provide free, high-quality infrastructure that allows developers to focus on building amazing projects without the financial barriers to usable infrastructure.
What We Offer
We provide free hosting resources for Fluxer-related open-source projects.
How It Works
Submit Your Application
Fill out our application form with details about your Fluxer project and hosting requirements.
Project Review
FluxerHost staff will review your application and reach out with any questions.
Setup & Configuration
If your project is accepted, we'll work with you to set up your project on our infrastructure. The deployment target for your project will be a dedicated namespace in our Kubernetes cluster. This is not VPS hosting. Docker containers are required. We can help you make Docker containers if needed. Any tokens or credentials your project needs to use will be securely transferred into the cluster, isolated from other users. During the early access period, this is a manual process while we develop automated deployment tools.
Launch & Monitor
Your project goes live! We provide monitoring and limited support to help you succeed however we can. If your project exposes Prometheus metrics, we can provide metrics and dashboard access. During the early access period, there is limited automation, so working with FluxerHost staff may be required for operating your project deployment, such as restarting or updating your software.
How We Can Help
Containerization Support
We can help containerize your software for deployment on our infrastructure.
Deployment Assistance
Early access users receive hands-on deployment support and guidance.
Infrastructure Setup
We handle the technical infrastructure setup so you can focus on your project.
Optional Graduation
If or when you want to, we can help you transition your project to your own paid infrastructure.
Who Can Apply
We welcome Fluxer developers and community members who are building open-source projects that contribute to the ecosystem. Whether you're creating a bot, a bridge, a community tool, or any other Fluxer-related application, we encourage you to apply for our hosting resources.
How to Self Host Fluxer / How to Host Fluxer
If you are looking for how to self host Fluxer or how to host Fluxer, there are two common paths: run your own infrastructure end-to-end, or use managed community infrastructure like FluxerHost. Self-hosting gives you full control over networking, storage, scaling, updates, and reliability, but it also requires ongoing maintenance and operational experience.
FluxerHost helps reduce that operational burden by providing free hosting resources, including Fluxer bot hosting, Fluxer instance hosting, bridges, and community tools. If your project and/or community is accepted, we help with containerization, deployment, and infrastructure setup so you can focus on building.
To get started, review our process in the How It Works section and submit an application through our application forms (bots and services,instances).
Our Values
We're committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where developers can learn, explore, and discover. Our core values include:
- Openness: We believe in clear operations and open collaboration
- Support: We're here to help developers succeed with their projects
- Innovation: We encourage creative solutions and experimentation
Donations
FluxerHost does not and will not accept donations. Our service is completely free and dedicated to growing the Fluxer community. We are not currently seeking funding, and we have no plans to monetize this service. Our goal is simply to support the Fluxer ecosystem.
Join Our Community
