Idea :Devs need to Host Bolt.diy with log in , set up superbase connect and Netlify to host projects with publishing the website at a later stage. The only charge would be something like $5 a month but users bring there own ai API to work with the builder, files can be stored local or from your github. The why ? need to host and publish projects now , not just make. This starts making Bot.diy compete with everyone in no code building. What do you think ? i would happily pay $5 a month , heck even $20 a month
Hi @peterfarrah20,
thanks for sharing your idea. A few questions:
What exactly you would happily pay for? Just the hostet app so you can use it without self deploying?
=> @aliasfox did it here (https://bolt-stable.cyopsys.com/) and you could easily set this up on cloudflare yourself as described here:
Deploying Bolt.diy with Cloudflare Pages (the easy way!)
The other stuff like publishing to netlify etc. will come into bolt and you just need then your own netlify account.
In my view there is no need for someone provide hosting etc. because then you just could use bolt.new instead of bolt.diy to get the asked features.
Or do I understand something wrong?
@peterfarrah20 As @leex279 stated, you can host with Cloudflare Pages completely free and you can also lock it down behind login with Cloudflare Zero Trust.
i didn’t realise that this has been done. i will check out properly later. Thank you for that. I will update here if i got more questions
How are you protecting the front end access of your isntall so random people dont go and use your api credits?

Also you can just not use the environment variables to set it for the whole app and instead put it in at the UI.
Actually, Deploying Bolt.diy with Cloudflare Pages (the easy way!) - #61 by kamalexandre goes into more detail. Setting up Cloudflare Zero Trust can get in the weeds though, with a lot of options and customization available.
