Self-Hosted Crossposter Offers Buffer Alternative Without Cloud Dependencies
Crossposter is a Node/Next.js tool for scheduling social media posts that runs locally or on a VPS. It uses file-based state instead of a database, so persistent disk mounting is required to avoid session loss. The scheduler only fires while the server is running, with no cloud worker to compensate for downtime.
