Open Forge

open-forge

A Claude Code skill that self-deploys 2,200+ open-source apps to your own infrastructure.
Tell Claude Code what to self-host. It does the rest — picks the right install method, provisions the server, configures DNS + TLS, sets up SMTP, hardens it, and brings the app up at your domain.
No more reading a 30-step README and copy-pasting bash for hours. You stay in chat; Claude Code drives the CLIs (aws, gcloud, kubectl, docker, ssh, …) and asks you only the things only you can answer (which cloud, which domain, which credential).
Backed by a self-improving catalog: every deploy can feed gotchas back so the next user starts further ahead.
*(OpenClaw — the self-hosted personal AI agent at openclaw.ai — is the project's signature use case; works the same way for any of the 2,200+ verified recipes.)*

Install in Claude Code

That's it. From now on, just say what you want self-hosted in any Claude Code session:
*"Self-host Vaultwarden on my laptop, expose via Cloudflare Tunnel."*
*"Run Immich on a Hetzner CX22 with restic backups to Backblaze B2."*
*"Deploy Ghost on AWS Lightsail at blog.mydomain.com."*

Also works on other AI coding tools and agent platforms

Claude Code is the canonical home, but the same recipes ship for other agents — see docs/platforms/:

Agent-mode caveat: When running inside an autonomous agent (OpenClaw / Hermes / messaging-channel agents), credential paste is disabled — the skill only accepts file paths, env vars, cloud-CLI sessions, or secrets-manager refs. Pasting credentials into messaging channels (WhatsApp / Telegram / etc.) is meaningfully riskier than into coding-tool chat. Group-channel deploy conversations are also refused.
