No Kubernetes, no microservices, no managed PaaS bill. One boring box runs the app, the database, TLS, and backups, and you scale it vertically. It offers two workflows you pick between : - Path A — host only: develop on your own computer, deploy to the VPS for cheap hosting ( rsync + build-on-box). - Path B — develop on the VPS (the full levels.io way): your code lives on the box, Claude Code runs in tmux (so it keeps working while you're away), and you connect from your laptop or your phone via Termius over Tailscale . Edits are basically already live. This is how levels.io actually works — \"coding almost solely on my VPS with Claude Code.\" Both share the same hardened foundation, with Tailscale locking SSH to a private network so the box is invisible to the public internet. Then it takes you the rest of the way to an app that makes money : put a domain on it with Cloudflare (proxied DNS + hidden origin) and charge users with Stripe subscriptions (checkout, webhook → SQLite entitlement, paywall). The domain and payments steps each let you choose full-auto (hand the agent an API key and it creates everything) or manual (you click the dashboard while the agent verifies each step). Who it's for: indie devs, \"vibe coders\", and bootstrapped founders who want to ship a small-to-medium app for a flat $8/month instead of stacking managed s","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/Avanderheyde","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/Avanderheyde/levelsio-vps-setup-skill/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
