A self hostable SaaS template built with Htmx/Django (no Node.js)

Hacker News

Hi All, I've been struggling to put together a SaaS stack I'm truly happy with for a few months. I decided to share what I came up with. As a backend Python engineer, I wanted to leverage that experience, rather than learn how to navigate JS framework ecosystem. After discovering the combination of Django and HTMX, I was sold. The batteries included philosophy of Django solves many web development tasks. HTMX provides dynamic user interactivity without needing to incorporate a front end framework or custom Ajax code. In addition, DeploySolo is built around deploying on a single host using docker compose. This means you can build a containerized environment on your development machine for staging, and deploy to a production server seamlessly and confidently. If you're lucky and need to scale later, you can pull these containers into another container orchestration tool like k8s. The final result is a tech stack that is well suited for Python engineers that want to create dynamic web applications without incorporating JS. Finally, the workflow of building a local containerized environment before pushing it to production with git push/pull is extremely flexible and affordable. --- There's an invite to a dedicated discord linked above under "Pricing". I'll give free access to anyone who is willing to try out my work and give any feedback, no matter how small. Thank you!
