Cloud MAX

Managed ɳSelf hosting for people who want the stack without the server.

Self-hosting ɳSelf is great. It is also a server. Someone has to run nself update, rotate JWT secrets, check that Postgres didn't fill the disk, and keep the backups tested. Cloud MAX is that someone.

What you get

• Pre-provisioned server. Hetzner CX33 or CAX21 in your chosen region. Your project, your data.
• Same stack. Postgres, Hasura, Auth, Storage, Nginx, Redis, Mailpit. Every plugin available on self-host is available here.
• Auto-upgrades. CLI + plugin patches apply during the weekly maintenance window. Stable releases only; no surprise major bumps.
• Daily backups. Encrypted off-site backups for the last 30 days. Restore via dashboard or CLI.
• Observability. Prometheus + Grafana + Loki pre-wired. Dashboards you can actually read.
• 24h email support. Real humans. Real response times.
• Your root. You still have ssh root@ access. Cloud MAX is managed, not walled.

What it costs

Plugin bundles are billed separately, your ɳSelf+ subscription works the same here as on self-host.

What it is not

• Not multi-tenant. Each Cloud MAX customer gets their own VPS. No neighbors.
• Not a lock-in. Download your Postgres dump + project directory at any time. Point DNS to your new server.
• Not Vercel. We do not host your frontend. Cloud MAX is the backend stack. Your Next.js app still ships to Vercel (or wherever).

Migration from self-host

One command.

nself cloud migrate --plan=pro --region=fsn1

ɳSelf uploads your project directory, restores the latest backup on the managed server, points DNS (if you delegated), and starts the stack. Downtime is the DNS TTL plus a few seconds.

Migration to self-host

Also one command.

nself cloud export --target=./local-backup

You get a tarball containing your entire project. Unpack on any box, run nself start. Cancel Cloud MAX.
