Hi all. If you're here, you're interested in self-hosting your AI automations. You've felt the pain of the cost, the restrictions or not being able to deliver a finished product to your clients and grow your offering without running into roadblocks or running out of ideas or just frustrated by the non-deterministic nature of tools like Claude or Openclaw running on their own. Studio is here to change all that. Studio v0.9 Some of you used the original version of what's now Studio. That version did one thing, faceless video, and it was heavy. It worked, but it was rigid and hard to extend beyond that single use case. Reboot This community is a reboot. If you're wondering where all the old posts went, that's why. Clean slate, fresh start, better direction. Studio v1.0.0 Studio is a complete rewrite. It's a general-purpose workflow engine that replaces the patchwork of tools most people are juggling, things like Airtable, Make, n8n, Zapier to name a few. It connects to AI generation services like Leonardo, JSON2Video, OpenAI, and Claude, but it also has its own workers, coming in the next few days, that replace or leverage those services entirely, running on your own hardware. Video is still there, but it's one of many things Studio can do now. It's still early. The platform is functional and in active development, but features like billing and plans aren't live yet. I'd rather be upfront about where things are than oversell what's coming. Here's what Self-Host Hub is about: Helping you own your AI infrastructure. Your data, your servers, your rules. No per-run platform fees. No vendor lock-in. Swap providers without rewriting everything. It's Live! Studio is public on GitHub right now. Videos are on the way with walkthroughs, builds, and real workflow demos so you can see what it does before you touch a single config file. Installation is simple. Download studio-console, register a domain name if you want public access, answer a few questions and you're up and running.

Welcome to Self-Host Hub. This community is for people building automation infrastructure they own, self-hosted workflows, local AI, and systems you run for yourself or your clients. WHAT IS STUDIO Self-hosted workflow automation platform for AI content pipelines. You own the infrastructure, pick your providers, keep your keys. Four pieces: - App (API + web UI) - Workers (general, video, audio, ComfyUI/GPU) - Community Catalog (free providers and workflows) - Plus Catalog (advanced production workflows for members) Deploy however you want: single Docker container, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, RunPod, or hybrid GPU setups. 📋 ROADMAP - Week 1: MVP — faceless video pipeline using OpenAI, Leonardo, JSON2Video - Week 2: Self-hosted video rendering (replaces JSON2Video) - Week 3: Self-hosted image generation via ComfyUI (replaces Leonardo) - Week 4: Self-hosted TTS voice cloning (replaces OpenAI TTS) - Each week eliminates an API bill. By week 4, the entire pipeline runs on your hardware. 📅 UPDATES - 3/30/26 MVP finalized. Five providers, faceless video workflow, two AI prompt templates. Release pipeline complete. - 2/8/26 Faceless video pipeline running end-to-end. - 1/22/26 Direction locked: deterministic workflows, production-safe execution. - 1/10/26 Community focus narrowed to real deployments and operational tradeoffs. ✅ WHAT'S READY - 4 provider packages (Core, OpenAI, Leonardo, JSON2Video) - Faceless videos workflow: article in → narrated video out - Workflow engine with approval gates, iteration, pause/resume - Multi-tenant orgs with role-based access - AI prompt marketplace - Real-time status updates during workflow runs - 8 Docker images for any deployment scenario 🔜 WHAT'S NEXT - Debug mode for step-level inspection - Instance recovery (resume from failed steps) - Dashboard with recent runs and OAuth status - Form builder with shareable public URLs 💡 WANT MORE?
