Postiz

Powering over $145K monthly recurring revenue as a one-person company and holding 34,000+ GitHub stars, Postiz has emerged as the most widely adopted open-source alternative to Buffer, Hootsuite, and Hypefury — combining social media scheduling with AI-driven content creation and agentic automation in a single self-hosted platform. The Next.js 14 frontend with React 18 and Tailwind CSS delivers a visual calendar and Canva-like design editor, while the NestJS backend orchestrates publishing across 30+ social networks including X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, Threads, Dribbble, Discord, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Facebook. Temporal handles durable workflow execution for reliable scheduled posting, retry logic, and background job processing. The built-in AI assistant generates post ideas, captions, hashtags, images, and short videos from natural language prompts — all within a single chat interface. An agentic layer exposes a CLI and MCP server that allow AI agents like OpenClaw, Claude, and ChatGPT to autonomously plan, draft, and schedule posts programmatically. Team collaboration includes role-based permissions, approval workflows, multi-workspace management for agencies, and commenting on scheduled content. A full REST API with a NodeJS SDK, N8N custom nodes, and Make.com integration enables automation pipelines. Analytics track engagement, reach, and growth across all connected accounts from a unified dashboard. The self-hosted stack deploys via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Temporal pre-wired — no feature limitations compared to the cloud version. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
