Hi all. If you're here, you're interested in self-hosting your AI automations. You've felt the pain of the cost, the restrictions or not being able to deliver a finished product to your clients and grow your offering without running into roadblocks or running out of ideas or just frustrated by the non-deterministic nature of tools like Claude or Openclaw running on their own. Studio is here to change all that. Studio v0.9 Some of you used the original version of what's now Studio. That version did one thing, faceless video, and it was heavy. It worked, but it was rigid and hard to extend beyond that single use case. Reboot This community is a reboot. If you're wondering where all the old posts went, that's why. Clean slate, fresh start, better direction. Studio v1.0.0 Studio is a complete rewrite. It's a general-purpose workflow engine that replaces the patchwork of tools most people are juggling, things like Airtable, Make, n8n, Zapier to name a few. It connects to AI generation services like Leonardo, JSON2Video, OpenAI, and Claude, but it also has its own workers, coming in the next few days, that replace or leverage those services entirely, running on your own hardware. Video is still there, but it's one of many things Studio can do now. It's still early. The platform is functional and in active development, but features like billing and plans aren't live yet. I'd rather be upfront about where things are than oversell what's coming. Here's what Self-Host Hub is about: Helping you own your AI infrastructure. Your data, your servers, your rules. No per-run platform fees. No vendor lock-in. Swap providers without rewriting everything. It's Live! Studio is public on GitHub right now. Videos are on the way with walkthroughs, builds, and real workflow demos so you can see what it does before you touch a single config file. Installation is simple. Download studio-console, register a domain name if you want public access, answer a few questions and you're up and running.

Hey all. Bit of an odd fit, since I run the managed side (OneClickClaw, hosted OpenClaw agents) and this group is all about self-hosting. But I'm genuinely here to help, not to convert anyone. Self-hosting is the right call for a lot of people. Where I can actually add value is the security side. The things that bite self-hosters most: a gateway exposed to the internet, secrets sitting in config, and exec/tool permissions wider than people realize. Happy to help anyone lock that down. If self-hosting ever turns into more babysitting than it's worth, that's the niche we fill, but no pressure at all. What are you all self-hosting right now?
