- Operational Setup
- Self-hosting needs a SQL database, Redis, media storage, and separate developer credentials for each social platform.
- Where Your Data Lives
- PostgreSQL or MySQL stores app data, Redis handles queues/cache, and media is local or S3-compatible storage.
- The Catch / Trade-off
- TryPost is a broad social scheduler rather than an X growth system, so Hypefury's auto-promotion and creator-specific automations are absent.
