One command stands up
Point a domain at one VPS, run one command, and own your whole online presence — website, blog, PGP mail, encrypted chat, cookieless analytics and one control panel. SQLite, zero telemetry, nothing rented.
Why it exists
A website builder for the site. WordPress and a dozen plugins for the blog. Google or Microsoft for the mail. An analytics vendor watching your readers. A SaaS dashboard tying it together — each its own bill, its own login, its own cloud you don't control. VayuPress is the opposite bet: your website, your blog, your mail, your analytics and your admin in one binary you run yourself — nothing phones home, nothing is rented, nothing can be taken away.
A real website and a Ghost-class blog — block editor, whole-site themes, media, members, SEO — with every word in your own SQLite file. No SaaS, no export wall.
A native SMTP/IMAP/POP3 mail server with DKIM and automatic PGP is built into the binary — send and receive from your own domain, read it in the official app, no third-party relay.
End-to-end PGP, encrypted keys at rest, and cookieless analytics with zero trackers and no PII on your readers. The only outbound calls are the ones you configure.
One command · the whole stack
Point yourdomain.com at one VPS, run one install command, and VayuPress stands up your entire online presence — a business website, a blog, and a sovereign mail server with automatic PGP — each on its own subdomain, each with a free Let's Encrypt certificate issued and renewed for you. Then read and send that mail from the official VayuMail app on Android.
Eleven elegant templates — restaurant, shop, studio, clinic, school, portfolio and more. Edit every word from the admin, switch designs live.
The full publishing engine — Ghost-class editor, whole-site themes, members and analytics. Or keep the blog at the root; it's your call, and updates never change it.
A DKIM-signing mail server with automatic end-to-end PGP — keys generated per mailbox, messages encrypted when the recipient's key is known.
Connect a phone in one scan — the admin shows a rotating setup QR that carries a per-device app password (never your real password), so the app signs in to IMAP & SMTP instantly. Read, write and send PGP-encrypted mail from your own domain, on the go.
Cookieless analytics and a single control panel (VayuOS) come with it — open source, zero telemetry, all on your own name. Nothing rented, nothing phoning home.
The Vayu suite
Not a bundle of plugins — a single Go process where publishing, mail, chat, bot defense and analytics are first-class citizens. Switch between them below.
What's inside
See it live
The design contract
"Complexity that exists must be visible, bounded, and owned. VayuPress makes nothing disappear — it makes everything observable."
How it compares
Most platforms bolt sovereignty, observability and governance on as plugins — or sell them as a hosted tier. VayuPress ships them in a single binary, with every byte of behaviour owned by the operator.
| Capability | |
|---|---|
| — Partial Plugin Hosted only n/a |
Comparison reflects out-of-the-box, self-hosted defaults. WordPress/Ghost capabilities marked “Plugin” are achievable via third-party extensions; Substack is hosted-only and not self-hostable.

❯ Tip · go live with a domain
Point your domain at the VPS and run the installer — it provisions nginx and free Let's Encrypt certificates for your website, blog., and mail. hosts automatically. To add the real-time VayuTalk relay, point one extra record — talk.yourdomain.com → your server, CDN proxy off — and re-run the installer; it adds the certificate, vhost and app advertisement for you. Full steps in the installation guide.
Open source · forever
Apache-2.0 licensed, dependency-light, documented to the decision level — VayuPress is for operators who refuse to rent their stack.
