Hey Indie Hackers! π Tomorrow (Oct 21, 12:01 AM PST / 10:01 AM Sofia time) I'm launching GHOST_SHELL on Product Hunt and would love your support!
The Story:
Client called: "Can you build a Telegram bot?"
Me: "Sure, 2 days."
Day 3: Bot ready. Works perfectly.
Day 3 evening: Still deploying. SSH errors. pm2 crashes. SSL not working.
Day 4 morning: Finally live. Exhausted. Frustrated.
That was my breaking point.
What I Built:
GHOST_SHELL - deploy any app through Telegram in 3 minutes.
What you can deploy:
- Websites (Next.js, React, WordPress, static sites)
- Telegram bots (Node.js, Python, PHP)
- APIs and backends
- Databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis)
How it works:
1. Open Telegram bot
2. Paste GitHub repo link
3. Click "Deploy"
4. Get live URL with HTTPS in ~3 minutes
Key features:
β Auto-deploy on git push (CI/CD built-in)
β Real-time logs directly in Telegram
β Own VPS (not shared hosting)
β Automatic SSL certificates
β Custom domains
β Pay with TON cryptocurrency
Who is it for:
- Indie hackers launching MVPs fast
- Telegram bot developers needing simple hosting
- Side project builders who hate DevOps
- Anyone tired of spending hours on deployment
Current Status:
Beta testing with first paying customers. Pricing: $5-35/month based on resources. 7 days free trial (no credit card).
Tech Stack:
Docker, Node.js, Let's Encrypt, automated CI/CD, TON blockchain for payments.
Built by solo founder. This is my first Product Hunt launch - slightly nervous! π

Would really appreciate your upvote tomorrow! π
Questions for the community:
- What features would YOU want in a deployment tool?
- Is $5/month too cheap or fair for basic tier?
- Would you use this for production apps or just side projects?
Any feedback welcome - trying to build something indie hackers actually need!
Thanks for reading! π
P.S. Happy to answer any technical questions about the architecture or how it works behind the scenes.
