Developer Self-Hosts Postiz as Open Source Alternative to Buffer for Social Scheduling

Developer Maneshwar documented his experience setting up Postiz, an open source, AGPL-3.0 licensed social media scheduling tool, as a self-hosted alternative to paid platforms like Buffer. Created by Nevo David, Postiz supports cross-posting to over 15 platforms including X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Bluesky from a single calendar interface. Unlike many open source projects, Postiz offers full feature parity between its hosted and self-hosted versions, with no paywalled restrictions on scheduling limits. The setup involves Docker Compose and pulls multiple services including Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, and Temporal, with the initial image download process taking over 10 minutes. Maneshwar also highlighted additional features such as a post marketplace, a public API compatible with automation tools like n8n and Zapier, and a CLI agent for scripting social media activity.
