ɳSelf Cloud

ɳSelf Cloud gives you a managed, dedicated nSelf stack on Hetzner infrastructure — fully isolated per tenant, no shared Postgres, no noisy neighbours. Every plan includes ɳSelf+, which unlocks all six premium plugin bundles. You run the same nself CLI locally and on Cloud; context-switching is one command.

Plans at a Glance

Infrastructure is billed at Hetzner's published rates and passed through at cost — no markup. The management fee covers provisioning, monitoring, updates, and support. All plans include ɳSelf+, so every paid plugin bundle is active from day one.

Architecture

Each Cloud instance is a single Hetzner VPS running the full nSelf stack. Your instance is not shared with any other tenant at the server, database, or networking layer.

Cloud Instance (your dedicated Hetzner VPS)
├── PostgreSQL       — your database, physically isolated
├── Hasura           — GraphQL API with all plugin schemas attached
├── Auth             — authentication service
├── Nginx            — SSL terminator + reverse proxy
├── Redis            — cache + queues (Pro and above)
├── MinIO            — S3-compatible storage (Business and above)
└── Plugins          — all ɳSelf+ bundles pre-installed

Public endpoints:
  API:     https://<name>.cloud.nself.org/graphql
  Auth:    https://<name>.cloud.nself.org/auth
  Storage: https://<name>.cloud.nself.org/storage
  Custom domain: https://api.yourcompany.com (optional)

Regions

Choose the region closest to your users. Off-site backups are stored in a different region from the primary server within the same jurisdiction.

Quick Start

# 1. Log in to ɳSelf Cloud
nself cloud login

# 2. Create an instance (5-8 minutes to provision)
nself cloud create myapp --plan pro --region fsn1

# 3. Switch context to your new instance
nself cloud use myapp

# 4. Check status
nself cloud status
# Instance: myapp (Pro, Hetzner CX21)
# Region:   fsn1 (Falkenstein DE)
# Status:   running
# Domain:   myapp.cloud.nself.org

# 5. Run any nself command against the Cloud instance
nself status       # runs against myapp
nself logs hasura  # streams from the Cloud server

Included in Every Plan

MAX Plan — ɳCloud Features

The MAX tier adds Cloud-exclusive capabilities on top of the full ɳSelf stack:

• ɳTV Cloud: Multi-source media routing with shared CDN edge caching — not available on self-hosted ɳTV. See ɳTV Cloud MAX.
• Multi-region routing: Route traffic across two Cloud instances with automatic failover
• Priority support: 15-minute P0 response SLA (vs 1-hour on Business)
• Advanced analytics: Aggregate usage dashboards across all your Cloud instances
• Custom instance sizing: Request non-standard Hetzner server types (CAX, CPX, CCX lines)

No Lock-In

nself Cloud is not proprietary. The stack we run for you is the same open-source ɳSelf CLI you can self-host. At any time you can:

• Export a full stack tarball (configs, Docker volumes, database dump) and migrate to your own VPS
• Take ownership of your Hetzner server via a token handover
• Request complete GDPR deletion — every byte of data associated with your account is removed
