Interface preview

Shoutrrr - Self-Hosted Social Scheduler user interface

Shoutrrr is a self-hosted social media scheduling app from the coolLabs team (Coolify). Draft a post once, queue it across networks like X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, and Discord, and keep drafts and tokens on infrastructure you control.

Key Features

  • Multi-Network Publishing: One calendar for major social platforms.
  • Scheduling Worker: Background jobs publish on time without babysitting tabs.
  • OAuth Connections: Connect accounts properly instead of sharing passwords.
  • Self-Host First: Designed for single-command deploy on your VPS.
  • coolLabs DNA: Fits next to Coolify and other open-source ops tools.
  • Open Source: Inspect, fork, and run without per-seat SaaS pricing.

Why Choose Shoutrrr?

  • Buffer/Typefully/Hootsuite costs scale with channels.
  • You already self-host marketing tools (e.g. Postiz, Notifuse) and want another OSS option.
  • You trust coolLabs’ shipping culture (Coolify).
  • Drafts and growth strategy should not live only in a third-party cloud.

Docker Deployment

# Follow the current README for the recommended compose / one-liner
git clone https://github.com/coollabsio/shoutrrr.git
cd shoutrrr
# configure env, then docker compose up -d per project docs

Create OAuth apps per network you connect—standard for any self-hosted scheduler.

Getting Started

  1. Deploy Shoutrrr and create an admin user.
  2. Register OAuth credentials for each social network.
  3. Connect accounts and schedule a test post.
  4. Build a weekly calendar habit.
  5. Optional: compare with Postiz if you need heavier team features.
