150+ new self-hostable apps just landed in Server Compass v1.25.0
Server Compass just tripled the deploy catalog: 428 one-click templates, up from 239. AI tooling, productivity, finance, dev tools, storage, monitoring — the gap between 'I want to try this self-hosted app tonight' and 'it deploys' just shrank dramatically.
The catalog you used to scroll past — "okay, postgres, mysql, redis, ghost, n8n, that's it" — just tripled. Server Compass now ships with 428 one-click app templates, up from 239 in the previous release.
If you've ever found a self-hosted tool you wanted to try, opened Server Compass, searched for it, and shrugged when it wasn't there, that gap is what this release closes. The new entries cover the categories you've been asking for: AI workbenches, productivity suites, project tracking, finance and invoicing, niche developer utilities, storage backends, monitoring stacks, fediverse and social, and a handful of fresh databases.
What changed
We added 189 new templates to the deploy catalog, bringing the total to 428. Every new entry ships with the same one-click experience as the originals: pick the template, fill in a few env vars, and Server Compass writes the compose file, generates secrets, opens the right ports, and brings the stack up on your VPS.
What's new in each category
The expansion isn't dumped into one bucket — it's spread across the four parent categories so the filter bar stays useful. Every app below is a one-click deploy; click any name to open its template detail page.

The filter bar is the same, the deploy flow is the same — the difference is what shows up in the search bar.
Who benefits most
The "I want to try this tool tonight" homelab tinkerer. You read about an open-source alternative on Reddit, you want to deploy it before bed, you open Server Compass — and now there's an actual chance it's already there.
The team escaping a SaaS bill. If you're migrating off Notion, Trello, ClickUp, Asana, Toggl, FreshBooks, Mailchimp, Intercom, or any of the other "we've outgrown the free tier" stacks, the open-source equivalent is most likely in the catalog now.
Indie builders running their own stack. Auth (Authorizer, Casdoor, Stack Auth, Pocket ID, HashiCorp Vault, Infisical), email (Stalwart Mail, Poste.io, Roundcube), analytics (Ackee, Tianji, Rybbit, Parseable), and AI tooling (Langfuse, LiteLLM, Flowise) — the modern indie-SaaS toolchain is one Server Compass install away from running on your own VPS.
Try it
Open Server Compass, hit Browse Templates, and watch the count in the corner click over to 428. Search for the tool you were going to look up later. It's probably already there.
