# 🚀 The Bootstrapper Stack
|
|
|
|
**Launch for $0/mo.** Everything you need to build, ship, and manage a SaaS product without spending a dime on software.
|
|
|
|
| What | Tool | Monthly SaaS Cost Replaced |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Database & Auth | [Supabase](/deploy/supabase) | ~$25/mo (Firebase) |
|
|
| Project Management | [Plane](/deploy/plane) | ~$10/mo (Jira) |
|
|
| Team Chat | [Rocket.Chat](/deploy/rocketchat) | ~$7/mo (Slack) |
|
|
| Deployment PaaS | [Coolify](/deploy/coolify) | ~$20/mo (Vercel Pro) |
|
|
| Web Analytics | [Plausible](/deploy/plausible) | ~$9/mo (Plausible Cloud) |
|
|
| UI/UX Design | [Penpot](/deploy/penpot) | ~$15/mo (Figma) |
|
|
|
|
**Total saved: ~$310/mo** · **Your cost: ~$6/mo (one VPS)**
|
|
|
|
## Deploy Order
|
|
|
|
Deploy in this order — each tool builds on the previous:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Coolify (your PaaS)
|
|
Coolify turns your VPS into a self-hosted Vercel. Once it's running, you can deploy everything else *through it*.
|
|
|
|
→ [Deploy Coolify](/deploy/coolify)
|
|
|
|
### 2. Supabase (your backend)
|
|
Database, authentication, storage, and realtime — all in one. This is your app's backbone.
|
|
|
|
→ [Deploy Supabase](/deploy/supabase)
|
|
|
|
### 3. Plausible (your analytics)
|
|
Drop Google Analytics. Plausible is lightweight, cookie-free, and respects your users' privacy.
|
|
|
|
→ [Deploy Plausible](/deploy/plausible)
|
|
|
|
### 4. Plane (your project board)
|
|
Jira without the Jira experience. Clean, fast, issue tracking that doesn't make you want to quit.
|
|
|
|
→ [Deploy Plane](/deploy/plane)
|
|
|
|
### 5. Rocket.Chat (your team chat)
|
|
Slack without the $7/user/mo. Self-hosted, full-featured, and it doesn't sell your conversations.
|
|
|
|
→ [Deploy Rocket.Chat](/deploy/rocketchat)
|
|
|
|
### 6. Penpot (your design tool)
|
|
open source Figma alternative. Real-time collaboration, SVG-based, and free forever.
|
|
|
|
→ [Deploy Penpot](/deploy/penpot)
|
|
|
|
## Server Requirements
|
|
|
|
| Spec | Recommended |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| RAM | 4 GB minimum (8 GB ideal) |
|
|
| CPU | 2 vCPU |
|
|
| Storage | 40 GB SSD |
|
|
| OS | Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 12+ |
|
|
| Monthly cost | ~$6 (Hetzner CX22) |
|
|
|
|
