DEPLOY_ANYTHING_IN_MINUTES_

October 21, 2025 Do you spend more time deploying than coding? I built GHOST_SHELL to fix this (launching on PH tomorrow)

Hey Indie Hackers! πŸ‘‹ 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! πŸ˜…

Would really appreciate your upvote tomorrow! πŸ™

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! πŸš€

P.S. Happy to answer any technical questions about the architecture or how it works behind the scenes.

About

I was tired of spending more time deploying apps than building them. Every side project followed the same painful pattern: 2 hours to code, 6 hours to deploy. SSH into VPS, install dependencies, configure nginx, set up
