Hosting Model
Local or hosted (your machine or their cloud)
Platforms
webself-hostedcliself-host, real ops
Installation
Hosted signup, or the official Docker Compose stack
Operational Setup
Self-hosting is a substantial stack: the docs call for PostgreSQL, Redis, Temporal, persistent storage, a public domain, and each network's OAuth credentials, with 4 vCPU and 8 GB RAM recommended.
Where Your Data Lives
Self-hosted data spans PostgreSQL, Redis, and Temporal; uploads use local persistent storage or configured object storage such as Cloudflare R2. Hosted data lives in Postiz's cloud.
The Catch / Trade-off
The software is broad, but self-hosting its PostgreSQL, Redis, Temporal, storage, and OAuth stack is far more operational work than paying Buffer.
