Free Builder Kit — illustrated PDF + reference codebase

4 — The Toolkit: Server and Storefront

The Free Builder Toolkit is two packages:

  • The Server — the operations spine of your business. Hosting, email, database, the layer customers never see.
  • The Storefront — the customer-facing layer. Site, sales, signup, support.

Both are open, self-hosted, and yours. No platform lock-in. No monthly bill that grows with your success. Set up properly, the two connect into a complete business in about a month.

Here’s exactly what’s in each.

  • Ubuntu
  • Apache
  • Service file
  • Exim4
  • Mongodb

II- The Storefront (showcasing your business, and bringing in customers and eye balls):

  • Nextjs

What will you still depend on, and needs solutions :

DNS : renting a domain name still requires paying a third party and costs $1
Hosting: hosting your business for millions of customers to find and see, requires a third party and costs $14

you need a domain name : domain.com $1

rent a ubuntu machine with at least 2gb of RAM $14

To get rid of the above $15 fee, one of us needs to come up with a peer to peer solution, to resolve our domains, and guarantee its wide adoption, or come up with some better idea

To operate your new business, you will need one of the below options :

or build your own AI agents free forever
or hire who writes and creates the content, support your customers for you
or you do it repeatedly and manually (Least favored options)

total cost to build any business is $15
