Hearth Starter

$20

Your own backend and analytics. No accounts, no per-seat fees.

A working, pinned Docker Compose stack for self-hosting a real backend. Not a list of links - the integration layer, done for you.

WHAT YOU GET

  • docker-compose.yml wiring the services together
  • .env.example with pinned image tags
  • README quickstart to a running service
  • verify.sh - checks each service is actually serving
  • RUNBOOK.md - operations, troubleshooting, backups
  • fetch-sources.sh - pulls each project at an exact pinned commit
  • docs/ - one page per component

WHAT’S INSIDE

PocketBase (MIT) - one binary giving you a real backend: SQLite database, authentication, file storage and an admin UI. Nothing else to install.

Umami (MIT) - privacy-first web analytics you host yourself. Cookie-free, no third-party tracker.

WHY THESE

PocketBase replaces the hosted-backend subscription you’d otherwise pay monthly for. Umami replaces the analytics tool that harvests your visitors. Both run on a small VPS and neither phones home.

ALL OPEN SOURCE, ALL PERMISSIVE

Every component is MIT, Apache-2.0 or BSD-3-Clause. Full attribution with pinned commits is included. The upstream source is freely available and the bundle tells you exactly where to get it and how to wire it together.

REQUIREMENTS

Docker Engine 24+ with the Compose v2 plugin. 4 GB RAM.

Instant delivery. One-time purchase, free updates.
