Free and open-source plugins for nself — the self-hosted backend CLI.

nself plugin install <name>

All 25 plugins are MIT-licensed and listed below (per F03 PLUGIN-INVENTORY-FREE).

Install any plugin with nself plugin install <name>. No license key required.

Note: notifications (older, 695-line implementation) and notify (newer, focused on Email + Webhook channels) are two separate plugins. New projects should prefer notify.

The monitoring plugin bundles 10 individual observability services (per F05 PLUGIN-INVENTORY-MONITORING). They are wired together by the parent plugin's docker-compose templates and ship as one install.

Install the bundle with nself plugin install monitoring. SLO definitions live in ./monitoring/docs/slos.md.

62 production-grade plugins starting at $0.99/month ($9.99/year).

No other self-hosted backend ships anything close to this. These are not thin wrappers. Each plugin is a complete service with its own database schema, API surface, and production-tested logic built for the nself stack.
