Your own social media scheduler,
on a $2 server.

KreateMix schedules posts, tracks analytics and answers comments across 13 networks. It's a single index.php, so you can run it yourself and keep your data and your accounts' tokens on your own server.

What it costs to run

KreateMix itself is free. You pay for a small server and a domain name.

Server (VPS)

$2/month to start

A 2 GB VPS from IONOS is $2 a month for the first 3 months. For the lowest long-term price, RackNerd's 2 GB plan is about $3 a month, billed yearly. Compare them.

Domain name

~$10/year

Needed for HTTPS and for connecting social accounts. A subdomain of one you already own works too, at no extra cost.

Control panel

$0

CloudPanel is free. It gives you a web dashboard for the site, PHP settings, free HTTPS certificates, cron jobs and backups, so you don't have to manage the server by hand.

How setup works

The full guide walks through every click and command.

  1. Rent a 2 GB VPS running Ubuntu 24.04 and point your domain at it.
  2. Install CloudPanel with one command.
  3. Create a PHP site in CloudPanel and turn on free HTTPS.
  4. Download index.php into the site and open your domain to create your admin account.
  5. Check that the scheduler is running. KreateMix adds its own cron job, so there is usually nothing to do.
  6. Add API keys for the networks you use. Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube and Bluesky need none.
