Support for Self-Hosting Open Source Software with Your Custom Domain

We provide support services to enable you to use open source software (projects/repositories) published on GitHub etc. with your custom domain.

This service can meet requests such as “I want to install and self-host open source software on hosting services like rental servers or VPS, or on my own Windows/Linux PC.”

Specific Examples of Support Cases and Support Fees

Below are examples of actual support cases and supported software, along with estimated support fees.

filebrowser

Let me give an example of the “filebrowser” project.

Description of filebrowser

“File Browser” is a file manager that allows you to manipulate files from a web browser.

By installing it on your PC, you can download, upload, delete files, and view file contents and images/videos from PCs and smartphones on the same LAN, such as devices connected via WIFI.

Github: filebrowser/filebrowser: 📂 Web File Browser / https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser

Demo: Login - File Browser / https://demo.filebrowser.org/login?redirect=/files/

The demo app username and password are both demo. (See official page)

filebrowser Installation and Setup

Installing and setting up filebrowser on a server is relatively simple. An automatic setup program is provided officially, so setup can usually be completed in one step by running this file from the command line.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebrowser/get/master/get.sh | bash
filebrowser -r /path/to/your/files

Docker containers are also provided, so setup using Docker is possible.

docker run \
    -v /path/to/root:/srv \
    -v /path/filebrowser.db:/database.db \
    -v /path/.filebrowser.json:/.filebrowser.json \
    -u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
    -p 8080:80 \
    filebrowser/filebrowser

Reference: Installation | File Browser / https://filebrowser.org/installation

Support Fees

From setup issues like not knowing how to set up, feeling something isn’t working right, or encountering errors and problems, to usage issues like not being able to support SSL (HTTPS) or access with a custom domain, we’ll help you through to completion.

Specifically, we provide support up to the point where the software is usable with your custom domain (SSL). Support for subsequent operations and maintenance is available for additional fees.

Cost Examples

• “I want to install filebrowser on a Windows 10 PC and use it from a smartphone connected via WIFI” → 12,700 yen
• “The domain name is decided, but neither domain nor server has been contracted yet. I want everything including those set up” → 17,700 yen + 5,500 yen + 5,500 yen

tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog

Let me give an example of the “tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog” project.

Description of tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog

“tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog” is a modern blog site template built with Next.js, React.js, and TypeScript.

Github: timlrx/tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog / htthps://github.com/timlrx/tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog

Demo: Next.js Starter Blog / https://tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog.vercel.app/

Below is a screenshot of the demo app.

tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog Installation and Setup

Setting up tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog is also relatively easy if you have a Node.js environment.

npx degit 'timlrx/tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog'

You can start using it by editing .env files and various files.

This site “yuipro.jp” was built with reference to this project, and actually about 50% of the code is reused.

Support Fees

Cost Examples

• “I want to use tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog with a custom domain” → 28,700 yen
• “I want to use tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog with a custom domain and also do SEO optimization” → 28,700 yen + 22,000 yen
• “I have 3 articles compiled in Excel that I want to upload. I want them converted to MDX (format usable with Next.js and tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog) and posted” → (5,500 yen/article + 3,300 yen/article) × 3 articles = 24,900 yen

Scope of Support

VPS with smooth support:

• Conoha VPS

For other VPS services or hosting services, please contact us with your preferences.

Rental servers with smooth support:

• Xserver
• Lolipop! Rental Server

For other rental servers, please contact us with your preferences.

※Caution※ In the case of “filebrowser” example, setup may not be possible on rental servers due to the nature of using ports. This is often the case, so VPS is usually recommended.

Operating systems with smooth support:

• Ubuntu (16.04 LTS or later) / Debian-based
• Windows 10 / Windows 11 / Windows Server 2016 or later

For Mac OS, support may be difficult as it is not regularly used. Since we don’t have actual hardware, we’ll proceed while confirming during remote support whether installation is possible. If you agree to this, Mac OS support is possible.

For Linux, we assume Ubuntu/Debian-based distributions. For RedHat-based or Arch-based distributions, support may be difficult. Like Mac OS, we’ll proceed while confirming during remote support whether installation is possible. If you agree to this, support is possible.

Note that there may be omissions in the scope of this service, so if you have questions like “Can you support this?”, please ask.
