# The AltStack Starter Kit
|
||||
|
||||
If you're new to self-hosting, don't try to replace your entire SaaS stack on day one. Start with three tools that are immediately useful, easy to deploy, and will teach you how everything works.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Stack
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Replaces | Why It's First |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| [**Uptime Kuma**](/deploy/uptime-kuma) | Pingdom, UptimeRobot ($15/mo) | Monitors everything else you deploy. Set it up first. |
|
||||
| [**Plausible**](/deploy/plausible) | Google Analytics (free but creepy) | Privacy-respecting analytics. You'll see results immediately. |
|
||||
| [**Coolify**](/deploy/coolify) | Vercel, Heroku ($20+/mo) | Deploy future apps with git push. Your own PaaS. |
|
||||
|
||||
**Total monthly cost:** ~$6 (one small VPS)
|
||||
**Total SaaS cost replaced:** ~$35+/mo
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploy Order
|
||||
|
||||
This order matters:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Uptime Kuma (5 min)
|
||||
Your monitoring dashboard. Once it's running, add monitors for everything else you deploy. You'll always know if something goes down.
|
||||
|
||||
→ [Deploy Uptime Kuma](/deploy/uptime-kuma)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Plausible Analytics (10 min)
|
||||
Lightweight, cookie-free analytics. Add the tracking script to your site and immediately start seeing real visitor data — without the privacy guilt.
|
||||
|
||||
→ [Deploy Plausible](/deploy/plausible)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Coolify (15 min)
|
||||
This is the game-changer. Coolify turns your server into a self-hosted Vercel/Netlify. Git push → auto deploy. It'll become the foundation for everything you build.
|
||||
|
||||
→ [Deploy Coolify](/deploy/coolify)
|
||||
|
||||
## After the Starter Kit
|
||||
|
||||
Once you're comfortable, explore the [Curated Stacks](/stacks) — pre-built bundles of tools designed for specific use cases:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🚀 [The Bootstrapper Stack](/stacks/bootstrapper) — Full SaaS toolkit for $0/mo
|
||||
- 🔒 [The Privacy Stack](/stacks/privacy) — Maximum data sovereignty
|
||||
- 🤖 [The AI-First Stack](/stacks/ai-first) — Run LLMs and image gen locally
