TryPost is open-source and can be self-hosted on your own server. This section covers everything you need to install, configure, and run TryPost in production.
Don’t want to manage infrastructure? Use TryPost Cloud — no setup required, free to get started.

​
Pick a path

Every path needs the same building blocks:
  1. App key (APP_KEY)
  2. Database configured and migrated
  3. Redis + QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis (Horizon)
  4. Passport keys + Personal Access Client (REST API keys; MCP OAuth also uses the keys)
  5. Admin user (UserSeeder)
  6. Long-running Horizon, Reverb, and the scheduler (Docker prod starts these for you)
