Astrodock installs once on a machine you control — your laptop or a cheap server — and then hosts the small apps you build on it, with user login, a database, and file storage included. No accounts to sign up for, no cloud bill.
Get it running on a server — DigitalOcean, any VPS, or your own box.
Take the starter app from your machine to a live URL with login.
Point your own domain at the platform and get automatic HTTPS.
Get alerted when one of your apps goes down (or recovers).
Use the built-in Postgres, or bring your own (Neon, Supabase, RDS…).
Point a coding agent at the platform and have it build & deploy apps.
