Can I try Fluxer for free?

Yes. Every new account gets $5.00 of Cloud Apps credit, applied automatically to your first invoice -- there is no code to enter and no card trial to cancel. Fluxer needs a larger plan than the credit covers outright, so it comes off your first invoice rather than clearing it.

How do I install Fluxer?

Pick Fluxer from the catalog and deploy it. There is no compose file to write, no server to prepare and no reverse proxy to configure, and the PostgreSQL database it needs is created and wired up for you. It comes up on a hostname with HTTPS already working.

What does hosting Fluxer cost?

Fluxer needs at least 8 GB memory, so the Large subscription at $15.00/mo is the smallest that fits it. That size is a close fit for Fluxer on its own -- if you want to run other apps alongside it, take the next plan up and share the pool.

Do I get access to the Fluxer files and database?

Yes. Every app has a browser shell into its container, SFTP for its files, and a one-click export of the PostgreSQL database. Your data is yours and you can take it out whenever you want.

Are updates to Fluxer automatic?

Only if you turn them on. We check nightly for a new image and tell you when one exists, but applying it is your call, per app. Database containers are never updated automatically -- a major version bump refuses to start against an existing data directory, which is a broken app rather than an upgrade.

Can I use my own domain for Fluxer?

Yes. Every app gets a hostname on our domain immediately, and you can point your own domain at it instead. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically either way.

Can I back Fluxer up?

Every app includes one free snapshot -- a full archive of its data you can restore from. Keeping more than one is a paid add-on on the subscription.

What you get

Fluxer runs on a subscription — a pool of CPU, memory and disk that you own. Deploying it takes one click, and the same pool will run your other apps at no extra charge.

A hostname with HTTPS, immediately

Your app is reachable the moment it finishes deploying, on a certificate we issue and renew. Point your own domain at it whenever you like.

A managed PostgreSQL database

Created, wired up and given a generated password at deploy. It sits on a private network with no port open to the internet, and you can export it in one click.

A shell and SFTP

A real shell in the container and SFTP for its files. This is not a black box — if you want to get in and look, you can.

Updates you control

We check nightly for a new image and tell you when one lands. Applying it is your decision, per app, and a failed update rolls back to the exact image it replaced.

A free snapshot

One full archive of Fluxer included, restorable in a click. Keep more with the snapshots add-on.

Your data, exportable

Export the PostgreSQL database whenever you want, plus SFTP for everything else.

What actually runs

No mystery images. Fluxer deploys 25 containers, and these are exactly the ones:

Running Fluxer yourself vs. running it here

Fluxer is free software and you can absolutely run it yourself — we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. What you are paying for here is the part around it.

On your own server

You write the compose file and keep it working
You install, tune and back up PostgreSQL
You configure a reverse proxy and renew certificates
You watch for new releases and apply them
You own the backups, and finding out they were broken

On Caliber Node

One click, and it is running on HTTPS
PostgreSQL deployed, secured and exportable
Certificates issued and renewed for you
Update checks nightly, applied when you say so
A free snapshot, restorable in a click
