STOP Using Vercel for Everything

Most developers don’t build apps anymore, they assemble subscriptions. In this video, I’ll show you how to replace that mess with a single VPS running a full Next.js app, Postgres, Redis, Uptime Kuma, Docker, Caddy, HTTPS, and a real deployment flow. We’ll set everything up from scratch, connect a real domain, and build a stack that gives you way more control for way less money. This is the exact kind of setup I wish I had understood earlier, because it saves you money, reduces complexity, and gives you actual ownership over your app. 🛜 Start your next project on Hostinger VPS: https://dub.sh/EhejIjU 🚀 Code for an extra 10% off: JANMARSHAL 📸 Screen Recording Software: https://dub.sh/eDa47SO 🔒 My favorite Auth Solution: https://dub.sh/xeU8r3v ⌨️ GitHub Repo: https://github.com/ski043/single-vps-hostinger 🌍 My Website: https://www.syntaxpath.com/ 👋🏻 Discord: https://discord.gg/ZzGqgpmd24 ✅ Follow me on X: https://x.com/janmarshaldev 📧 Business ONLY: [email protected] Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:30 Why You Shouldn’t Rely on Third-Party Managed Services 05:50 Cost vs. Complexity 09:00 The Target Architecture 15:00 What Makes a Good VPS 20:00 Setting Up the VPS 25:00 Connecting to the VPS via SSH 28:30 Installing Docker 31:30 Locking Down the Firewall 33:00 Pointing Your DNS to the VPS 39:00 Preparing the Server Directory 49:00 How the Docker Setup Works 01:00:00 Setting Up GHCR 01:11:00 Copying the Deployment Files to the VPS 01:14:00 Pulling Docker Images 01:24:00 Fixing the HTTPS Bug (Caddy/SSL) 01:30:00 Setting Up Uptime Kuma
