AODE · Self-hosted deploy portal

Deploy without
the platform tax.

Install once on any VPS. Push from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Auto-SSL, PostgreSQL and MySQL, zero-downtime deploys, all in one panel you own.

Features

What is in the panel

AODE is a self-hosted deployment platform for your own Linux VPS. Use it instead of Vercel, Railway or Render. It builds your Git repositories into Docker deployments, routes traffic through Traefik, and issues Let's Encrypt certificates. You pay a one-time license instead of a monthly platform bill.

AI assistant

Ask in plain words: deploy this repo, add a database, why did the build fail. It works through the panel's own API and asks before it runs a command. Runs on your own Claude subscription or API key, and stays off until you turn it on.

Git deploys

GitHub, GitLab (including self-hosted) and Bitbucket. Push to your branch and a webhook starts the deploy.

Zero-downtime deploys

The new version must pass a health check before it replaces the old one. If it fails, the old one keeps serving.

PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis

One click per project, with connection variables injected into the container. A browser for SQLite and PostgreSQL is built in.

Docker Compose apps

Deploy a multi-service stack from a compose file. Only the web service is exposed, and each stack gets a memory budget.

Database backups

Nightly backups stay on the server, with an optional copy to Cloudflare R2. Restore from the panel.

Persistent volumes

Mount a volume per app so uploads and data survive redeploys.

Automatic SSL

Certificates issue and renew on their own, for the panel and every custom domain.

Builds

AODE uses your repo's Dockerfile when it has one. Otherwise it generates one for 9 languages.

Rollbacks and secrets

Every build is tagged, so you can roll back in one click. Environment variables are encrypted at rest.

Chat alerts

Deploy, rollback, webhook and backup results go to Slack, Discord or Telegram.

Signed updates

Update from the panel. Every release is checked against a signature before anything is installed.

How it works

Three steps to deploy

01

Install on your VPS

Single command with your license key. Ubuntu 20.04+ or Debian 11+, 4 GB RAM, a public IP. The installer sets up Docker, Traefik, SSL, and the panel in 5 to 10 minutes.

$curl -fsSL https://install.theaode.com/install-secure.sh | sudo bash -s YOUR-LICENSE-KEY
02

Open the panel

Visit your domain in the browser, log in with the admin credentials the installer prints, and add a Git token in Settings if your repo is private.

$# https://yourdomain.com
03

Deploy

Add a project from your GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repo and click Deploy, or push to main and let auto-deploy do it.

$git push origin main

Vibe-coding this yourself costs $800+ in tokens.

We build AODE with AI coding agents and measured the tokens. These are lower bounds for reaching the same panel, before anyone maintains it.

How we measured: our Claude Code sessions from 19 to 23 October 2026 used 456 million tokens and added about 35,800 lines of code, roughly 12,700 tokens per line. AODE has 120,000 lines, and about 1.3 lines get written for every line that stays, so reaching it takes over 2 billion tokens: about $800 at Claude Opus 5.5 API prices and about $1,500 at Opus 5 prices. These are lower bounds. Starting from nothing adds design and debugging work we did not count.
