Orbita is free open source application for creating personal blog with subscriptions.
You can think this as a simple self-hosted analog of Patreon, Boosty and OnlyFans.
The point is to store your content on your server without any limitations from big platform holders. With Orbita you are able to publish your content and receive money from a grateful audience.
This application is designed to be installed on your own server using Docker. You will not need to follow the rules of a third-party platform and pay its fees. Payments from subscribers will be sent directly to your payment gateway.
You own your server and all the data.
Download source code, copy .env.dist
into .env
, specify correct SITE_URL
and maybe other settings.
Then docker-compose up
and wait when all images will be downloaded and built.
I assume you will use some web proxy with TLS certificate to handle connections, so by default Orbita listen only localhost port 8080
.
You can change the host by adding NGINX_HOST=0.0.0.0
into .env
.
Admin panel is available under your-site-url.com/admin
, login with user admin
and password admin
.
There are some built-in gateways located in core/src/Services/Payments
.
Please use it as an example for your payment connectors. They should extend abstract class PaymentService
.
Active gateways are listed under PAYMENT_SERVICES
setting.
Services supporting subscriptions (periodical payments) should also be listed under PAYMENT_SUBSCRIPTIONS
.
Don't forget to put svg
logo of new service into frontend/src/public/payments
.
Payment classes are CamelCase
, logo images are kebab-case
.
This is a new project, many things could be unclear, so don't hesitate to ask your questions. I will continue to develop this project according to your feedback!
