What Is the AODE Boilerplate?

The AODE Boilerplate is the foundation that powers every new AODE installation. When you run the one-line installer on a fresh VPS, you're not just getting a portal — you're getting an entire pre-configured infrastructure stack:

  • Next.js 15 Portal — the control plane for all your deployments
  • Traefik v2 — automatic reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt SSL, zero config
  • Docker Compose — orchestrates everything, keeps services isolated
  • PostgreSQL — ready for projects that need a managed database
  • SQLite — lightweight, fast portal database via Prisma ORM

Everything wired together, secured, and ready to deploy your first app within minutes of installation.

One Command. Full Stack.

curl -fsSL https://install.aode.tech/install-secure.sh | sudo bash -s YOUR-LICENSE-KEY

That single command:

  1. 1Validates your license
  2. 2Downloads the boilerplate (~2MB, SHA256 verified)
  3. 3Extracts to /opt/aode/
  4. 4Boots the entire stack with docker-compose up
  5. 5Configures Traefik for automatic HTTPS

No manual nginx configs. No certbot scripts. No "why isn't port 80 open" debugging sessions.

What You Get Out of the Box

Automatic SSL for Everything

Every project you deploy instantly gets a Let's Encrypt certificate via Traefik. Custom domains work the same way — point your DNS, add the domain in the portal, done.

Multi-Language Support

The boilerplate ships with Dockerfile templates for 9+ languages: Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java, PHP, Ruby, .NET, and static HTML. AODE detects your project type automatically on deploy.

Git-Driven Deployments

Connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository. Every push can trigger an automatic redeploy via webhooks — just like the big platforms, but on your hardware.

Rollback in One Click

Every deployment is versioned. If something breaks, roll back to the previous working image instantly — no re-building, no downtime guessing.

Built-in Monitoring

CPU, memory, disk, and network stats for every running container. System alerts notify you before problems become outages.

Why Self-Hosted?

The cloud platforms are incredible — until you look at the bill. A handful of hobby projects on Vercel or Railway can easily reach $50–100/month. A $6/month VPS running AODE can host dozens of projects with:

  • No per-project pricing
  • No bandwidth caps
  • No vendor lock-in
  • Your data, your server, your rules

The AODE Boilerplate is what makes that possible without spending a weekend configuring infrastructure.

Always Up to Date

AODE ships with a built-in update system. When a new version is released, your portal notifies you and handles the update process — no SSH required, no manual file juggling. The boilerplate evolves with every release, and your installation stays current.

Get Started

AODE is available for self-hosted VPS deployments. Grab a license and have your deployment platform running before your next coffee break.

# Fresh VPS? You're one command away.
